surely he makes the smart decision and returns.hes only 20. theres no way he goes before the middle part of the 2nd round.

 

[Jonboy]

Hopefully he's staying. Would be shocked to see him declare before many of the other underclassmen who could potentially go ahead of him

Tennessee needs you Big J.

The fact that he's calling a presser makes me think he's likely gone. That's what happens at the majority of those. We shall see though.

Is "available to the media" the same as a press conference?

 

[NashVOL93]

He gone. Only person I've ever known to call a presser to say they were staying was Peyton.

 

[TruUT24]

Can fans go

 

[Catbone]

[Mullins2010]

Jarnell did the same thing last year, did he not play for Tennessee this season?

 

[daugag02]

He can declare, not hire an agent, and return.

Shh it's the classic VN freakout down spoil it.

 

[Aesius]

I could see him saying he's coming back. Would be a nice way to get even more fan support for Zo.

 

[Tennakey]

He still dating that Lady Vol B-baller?

I don't know. I don't stalk college kids.

Dear Jarnell...

 

[bleedingTNorange]

He can declare, not hire an agent, and return.

Not after the 15th he can't

This time tomorrow the future will look bright, or the era of Pops Nidaye begins.

 

[BurninOrange]

He is staying

Scotty Hopson didn't make the smart decision but Pearl had already been fired and he wasn't very close to Martin yet. Martin arrived in late March and Scotty announced in April.

So, with Stokes have a firm relationship with Martin and trusting he judgement, he will return for his senior season.
