Without speaking, Cuonzo Martin announced his presence to the college basketball recruiting world on Thursday. And Tennessee’s first-year coach did so in a big way.

Ok, so I've been wondering this for a few days, but now I can officially ask this question. I'm putting the cart ahead of the horse, but how does this midterm enrollee status effect Stokes' NBA draft eligibility?
Not making any comment on his being a "one and done" type guy, but just curious.

Coach Martin just fired THE big shot in the recruiting battles. The rest of the SEC might want to take notice...

Stokes will be at UT atleast a year and a half because you can't enter the draft until your graduating high school class has been graduated for 1 year

This is huge. The jinx is behind us, basketball and football.
A wave of positive energy will now sweep across all of Big Orange Country, bathing us in a ground swell of enthusiasm that will result in victories, and eventually championships.
OK, so I overreacted a little bit.
All I can say is, IT'S ABOUT TIME we had some good news!

Hiring Cuonzo Martin was also something that went right for the Vols.
