“@Ben_Fred: Stokes on NBA "I really don't know. Just get to the tournament and do some damage in the tournament. Right now I'm just thinking a/b Auburn"”

“@Ben_Fred: Stokes was his usual interesting self today. Said playing football for the #Vols is "in the back of his mind" if he returns for Sr season.”

I can picture him taking a TE screen and dbs bouncing off him as he is just running straight ahead

Sparty question, obviously has nothing to do with this topic, but while you're here.

This is a honest question, and I ask you because you do know what you're talking about, I just joke about it with you. What do you think happened today?

I've asked this before, but honestly? Do you think it was a massive overhaul of a gameplan? Or did guys shot hit shots and play better on both ends? I ask because, I can't imagine at this point of the season Martin doing anything drastically different in practice that turns his system from a loss to Vandy, to a 40 point ass whooping of Vandy.

And it wasn't as though we were unconscious shooting, we played absolutely great defense. We shot well, but from the line it could've been better, and it wasn't like we were 90% from three.

TIA

Stokes should have been playing football from the start. The guy has got a 1st round body on the gridiron. Put football weight on him and you've basically got a McCullers that can bend his knees and run. Don't know if he has the mindset or I think he would've already picked football. I think he ends up in Europe if he sticks to BB (which is not a bad deal at all btw).

Play basketball for 20 years making 6 figures a year while still being able to walk when he's 50 or get your body destroyed for a couple of years in the NFL with no guaranteed money.

I say he made the right choice.

Stokes won't be back next year to play but it would be awesome to see. I think he worked his butt off this year to earn himself a spot on a roster in the NBA.

Yeah, he has earned it. I vote TE. Just get the ball in his hands past the line of scrimmage.

I know this wasnt directed towards me but its simple really. We hit shots that weve been missing most of the year and Vandy was stone cold. Ive said it over and over the type of offense CM runs some nights we can beat anyone in the country and some night we can lose to anyone in the country. Its all just depends if were hitting shots or not. We didn't shoot 90% from 3 but 47% is pretty damn good. This team will live and die by the 3 just like they have all year because that's the only offense our players know. Martin doesnt know how to get guys good looks consistently from inside the 3 point line.
