he has publicly called himself out and challenged himself.

Didn't expect him to.

Don't have a link. Sorry. Just made me smile when I heard about it. Kid could be special.

The kid seems to have a lot of potential, but he hasn't yet lived up to the hype. Either through introspection or external influence, someone needs to spur him on to greatness.

If people expected a double/double out of him every night, their expectations were wack

W/O him you can put a L vs Uconn. I know this always comes up a lot but it's true...he should be getting ready for a state championship and getting sized up for a tux for prom. He has lived up to everyone's hype that isn't delusional.

P.S .you are the biggest negative nancy on this board

To the people with realistic expectations, yes he has.

He just turned 18 and the last time he played basketball was his Junior year in high school. What kind of "hype" did you expect him to bring?

He should be in high school right now, but instead he is getting double teamed by the SEC's best defenses who are 1-5 yrs older than him.. And still being productive.. Stokes is special, and everyone will realize that soon. If we had better guard play to take pressure off him, he would be putting up even better numbers.

Some folk just know nothing about basketball or even assessing an individuals game.

He is going to be a great player, he is just not a leaper. Think he just didn't have to jump in HS.

Here's the Quote the OP was referring to :

Freshman wall?: UT forward Jarnell Stokes said his two early fouls at Alabama were "dumb," and he indicated he would do some soul-searching after his eight-point, eight-rebound outing.

"I'm not as aggressive as I was," said Stokes, who has scored in double figures in just one of his past five games. "I'm not making the plays I was early on; I've got to figure it out."

I think he just doesn't waste time leaping when a quick release or another option is the best way to get the ball in the bucket. Too many players gather themselves to try and leap, which allows the D to get up and defend.

He got up pretty well on that one handed dunk last week.

he was WAY up there on that dunk coming down the lane at home vs SC that he got fouled on and missed. that would have been a poster.

He has had his elbow above the rim a few times going up for dunks, and he is usually a forearm above the person challenging him for a rebound. IDK what the heck you are talking about... lol

Witch Doctor look for a great end of the season for him and this team, can you imagine 1 summer on the weights like Maymon did last year? Witch Doctor say he will be scary next year.
