| Pretty surprised that a lot of pepper think he'll stay till '14. I would be shocked of he were still here by then | |

IF he comes out and is a 20 ppg 10+ rpg player then he is gone for sure because he probably has boosted his stock to top 15. If he has 15 ppg and 10 rpg I think he stays. He's projected late first round right now, and I don't think he'd leave for that. | |

I think it's pretty possible, but won't be shocked either way. If we have a good season this year, bring back all underclassmen and add his buddy Nichols, along with a guy he knows in Crawford, he may want to come back for his junior year to play with them and see where they can go. | |

Stokes may not see that as a possibility at Tennessee.
Lord knows I hope that's not the case, though. I would love for us to even be on the periphery of the national title conversation in a couple years. | |

Agree about the shooting but stokes is also 2 years younger and that makes GM's drool. They'd believe they could improve his shot and would also love the fact that he's 18 and could still grow.
All my point was, was that I disagree that he has to grow to be a top 5 pick. He's 6'9" and as sullinger is proving you can go top 5 at that height. | |

I was just trying to point out that they have different skills at this point. It honestly wouldn't shock me at all if Stokes shows up this year with a three point shot and a much improved FT shooting percentage. Especially considering how hard of a worker he is. | |

| Isn't Stokes supposed to grow an inch or two? I feel like I read that somewhere. | |
