I heard from my TSU contact that Rhett will come to Knoxville if Jarnell returns for his senior season. I say it's 70-30 Mr. Stokes finishes out his collegiate career next season on the Hill.
Jarnell is smarter than everyone gives him credit for. He knows after this run that he has national attention now and that the focus will be on him next year. I say he's back and that the world does not end for Tennessee basketball.
I've said since he hit the market, if we want him he's ours. Stokes returning would help, but on the flip side without Stokes there's a ton of minutes available in the post.
If this happens we could definitely be back in the Tourney next season. Hubbs will be back and should be 100%. Richardson could be a first team All-SEC player along with Stokes , who could be SEC POY. Keeping my fingers crossed.
