2 hour countdown to Stokes decision......

[TNVolunteerGrad]

WAIT! he'll be able to play this season?!

Yes!

Scotty Hopson was the highest rated player we've signed.

who ?

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

Scotty Hopson was the highest rated player we've signed.

Not sure if serious..

edit: yep he is according to rivals. Interesting.

I'm certain Bernard King was rated higher, but you can't go much higher than Stokes.

Tobias was ranked the #1 forward and #5 overall prospect. Stokes is #11 overall.

holy s#*t how?! I didnt know it worked that way in basketball

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

Scotty was 2nd shooting guard, 5th overall nationally.

 

[GLDunlap]

Kenny Hall is having a bad day........GBO

 

[volmaniac5674]

How? Harris and Hopson were both #5 overall. But Hopson was #2 shooting guard and Harris was #1 forward

Pearl's been gone 9 months. Martin doesn't owe The Tan Man a damn thing.

Would guarantee that we don't get Stokes if Pearl hadn't laid the recruiting foundation.

I think it depends what site you look at really. Either way, Jarnell is right up there with Tobais and Scotty. A huge get.

 

[HardKnoxVol]

Unless you are the guy he replaces.

That should do it even more!

Hopson, Harris

I'll take that bet.

Just for comparison, Yahoo Sports Rivals has Tobais as #2 PF and 7th Nationally. So it really varies. He was a quality player. I hope Stokes is the same or better.

 

[bigdan]

when is he elgible to play?

Would guarantee Stokes would not have committed to TN either if Martin hadn't closed the deal and kept recruiting him.

No sense debating who actually is responsible, just be glad he is here.

Imagine if we still had those two with stokes this year we would be national contenders
