Jarnell after the game when asked about NBA draft: "I don't want to go out like that."

Per tweet from Wes Rucker

Hmmm.... :naughty:

I don't put much stock in what he says right now, after an emotional game.

I think he'll be back.

Agree.. exactly what I'd expect him to say after a game like that.

He is in love with a Lady Vol, I've heard they want to stay in Knoxville another year. Of course, much will depend on how he grades out for NBA draft. We'll see.

Jarnell's lady #20 :thumbup:

Stokes said later that there's no sense in making a rash decision immediately after the game...he'll pray about it, thinking about it, and announce later.

Last I checked he was projected at 40th in the draft....early to mid second round I guess.  I don't know if that's good enough.  He had a great run in the tourney and his stock may have risen.

The fact that he seems to be a spiritually grounded person, IMO means he is more likely to not be impressed by the big money allure of the NBA and make a decision that is legitimately in his best interest as a whole person and not just his financial interest.

So I give him a higher chance of making the decision to stay than say...Tyler Bray, who didn't appear to be spiritual at all, in any way form or fashion (though I stop short of saying that for sure, because who am I to "throw the first stone"?   :biggrin:).

I think it's more likely he will go than stay, but there is IMO a pretty decent chance he will stay.

Butch can help out by giving him a shot on the football team.

That's my thinking.. we know what kinda recruiter Butch is.  Numbers wise, there's a better chance at making an NFL roster than there is an NBA one.

He projects to 36th here:

High second round.

And although it was for football, I found that site to accurately predict all of Tennessee's players last year in the draft, except for the undrafted Bray, who they had as late 4th round.
