He was a regular for Colombia in their ill fated U20 world cup in NZ. They dominated the US, had a penalty saved, yet went down 1-0 in the last 16. Tello appears to have played well enough.
Our primavera season has been a shambles under Grosso. And with Della Morte leaving and Grosso apparently staying put, it is the one area of our club which seems poorly managed. Recruitment is brilliant, but management of the players at U19 level horribly wrong. We have a team of youth internationals who plays better for their national sides than they do for their club. I have little faith in Pessotto and even less in Grosso. We need to replace those two, before we can glean a decent idea of the potential in the ranks. For nobody has excelled. A constantly chopping and changing team, underachieving in all competitions leads normally to a change of coach and structure.
Della Morte did brilliant things season upon season for the allievi, yet has left the club. Grosso failed with a bunch of classy kids, and for now, seems set to remain. Much to ponder there...

Fully agreed, that's exactly it.
Just one thing.
According to posters on vecchiasignora.com, Grosso has already left the club. A former coach of Atalanta, who is well known in the midst, is replacing him as Primavera coach. His name is Bonacini or something.
I think Pessotto is the one who calls decisions in the youth area. He's been doing a bad job and contract just got renewed.
I really don't have expectations of good young players coming through. Juventus youth management is a hot mess.
