I have fond memories of Soto too. One game in particular stands out. It was a close game against BYU and Jimmy was fouled in an incredible pressure-packed situation. I think he had a 1-and -1 with only a few seconds to go, with Utah down 1 or 2 points. Soto was practically beaming. He knew he'd make the shots, and he did. I wish I could recall the details. I loved the guy's heart and was always glad to see the ball was in his hands.
