If we struggle early against MSU, I think Martin should put him in

 

[driley3]

This is Dooley's fault

 

[omghulkhands]

BOOM

 

[YankeeVol]

Awesome!

 

[bigsteve13]

the season starts now. let's make a run for the tourney

 

[EvanStalcup1990]

Whats the reasoning for not playing him? secret weapon against the Cats? lol or doesn't know the set plays?

 

[Shaun1985]

Great news! I don't see him starting for awhile. I'd love to see him come in for a few minutes and just completely light it up.

He just got here this past week. He hasn't played organized ball since last summer. He is not in bball shape. Don't expect to see him make a huge impact this season

:clapping: Great news for the bb team coming off the win over the turds. epper:epper:

He should help us win some games, IMO.

 

[VolsGoHard]

Yes! Leggo

He is definitely in basketball shape. The guy has an incredible work ethic. He gets up at 4:00 every morning to work out and shoot.

 

[EvanStalcup1990]

I am thinking we will see him against the cats. Why not? If its true he gets up that early then he is more than likely in basketball shape.

Stokes dun crashed the govolsxtra server.

 

[stephenk24]

I am very excited to see what he can do... Hope he performs...

 

[OrangeBalls]

I hope fans aren't expecting him to come in and be the basketball savior for this team this year. He hasn't played organized ball since last summer. He might be in some sort of shape, but I highly doubt he is in basketball shape and what he needs to be in for the SEC schedule. Plus, today is his first day to practice with the team. When the SEC schedule grind gets under way, most of practice is used towards scouting the opponent you would think. He missed all of pre-season camp where he would really learn our offense and defense. Any contribution we get from him this year is a plus, but don't expect great things yet.

 

[PoochPunt3rdDown]

He's gonna meet a giant fish and **** it's brains out!

Jarnell "Like A Boss" Stokes.

 

[Shaun1985]

^ lol.

After watching a complete UK game, we REALLY need this guy to clog up the middle and anyone that's capable of getting a shot over Davis without having it smacked into the 3rd row. Guys a beast.

 

[smokeyman15]

This is a dumb question, I'm sure. But, what year will this "half-year" be for Stokes? Will he enter next fall as a sophomore?

 

[Shaun1985]

Yup. He'd be considered a freshman this year but can't go to the NBA until his Soph year is up.

This is way too rational for most of our fans to comprehend. Just like everything else, if he doesn't come in right away and lead this team to the AA tourney, he will be a bust. Sad, but just the way things work around here.
