Terrence Hill Jr. delivered the biggest sequence of his college career in the Men's NCAA Tournament for VCU, then spent less than a month deciding his encore belonged with Tennessee basketball.
Hill, a 6-foot-3 guard, committed to Tennessee on April 19, choosing the Vols over Kansas. He's now positioned to compete for one of the starting guard jobs on a Tennessee roster that lost All-SEC guard Ja'Kobi Gillespie to the NBA draft.
Hill said he'd already pictured himself in Tennessee's offense before making his visit to Knoxville, watching Gillespie's ascent under coach Rick Barnes from afar.
"It was funny because last year I was watching the tournament when Tennessee played," Hill said July 13. "I think it was the Sweet 16 game. I was like, 'Ja'Kobi's going crazy, that could be me out there.' I was talking to my agent about it."
Barnes saw that same potential when he made the commitment official.
