Title: Looking like Stokes is going to be a Vol
Post by: BigOrange Maniac on December 22, 2011, 05:45:20 EST
I hope we aren't being set up for a major disappointment, but it's looking more and more like Darnell Stokes will announce for UT this evening.

If this plays out, what are the chances Cuonzo plays him immediately after the NCAA Clearinghouse approves him and he works his way into his role at practice? Given the way things are going, I don't think he has much choice...

I haven't heard much about this.  What is the situation?

That would be "Jarnell" good buddy.  I hope you are right. We need him!

He's an early H.S. grad, which means he can play this season once he's cleared. TSSAA didn't let him play H.S. ball this year due to transfer rules. He was originally considered a UT lock before the Bruce Pearl mess came up. Cuonzo has done a masterful job getting UT back into the picture vs. Memphis, UK, Florida, UConn, etc.

I'll believe it when it happens.

Also, does that mean he can go pro after this year?

I'll believe it when he actually suits up and plays for us.  Remember, Terrance Jones announced for Washington, and one phone call from Cal changed his mind. :frown:

Pretty sure it was a collect call.
