I watched one of our practices with the Stokes family, at least with the guys in the family (mom Stokes was too bushed to hang any longer that weekend and stayed behind at the hotel).
Their parents really liked Knoxville and the university and the boys had a ball hanging out with other recruits and UT players all weekend. But I got the feeling that if anything, dad had some concern about the long drive every weekend from Pennsylvania to Knoxville. But he said that it wasn't a deal-buster, and added that if Mark Jones parents could do it, so could they.
I was more concerned about the prospect of him ending up at Penn State or the Ohio State University-- because of proximity. The drive from PA to Gainesville, FL is probably twice as far as Knoxville but Florida has the extra added appeal of playing in the super-glamorous national championship game. 'Nuff said! JMO.

Scout says Stokes has decommitted. Did I miss an official decommit from him the last couple days?
