Cuonzo Martin firmly believes that Jarnell Stokes will make a “big step” forward as a sophomore, but UT's coach isn’t convinced that leap will be best gauged by statistics.

I'm hoping Jeronne and Jarnell can develope their own version of the Ernie & Bernie show. Would be great to see two studs dressed in orange on the same team again. Sort of a 2012 take on that great Vol tandem. We can hope can't we?

I am very proud of where we are right now with our basketball team. Coach Martin is the man. Stokes is the real deal. Tennessee basketball is gonna be exciting to watch next year.

Gonna be hard to handle in the post, if anybody can step up and knock down a wide open 3 (and there should be plenty of oppertunities) we will go deep in the tournament. Coach Zo will have us playing tough D and pounding the glass with Stokes, Maymon and hall.

And with Golden as our point guard we should...oh wait a minute. Oops.

I think Golden showed what he can do offensively last year. If he gets healthy, and better defensively, we'll be fine at the point. Also, if we can get a little better consistency out of McBee and McCrae from outside, we'll be extremely tough. Very excited to see what CCM is gonna do with all the talent on next years team.

Don't forget Hall and Makanjoula. They will have more time in Martin's system and both could be monsters. I am also excited about Richardson. He is more solid than many realize. The last thing is that all of them will have a better understanding of Martin's motion offense which takes time to run efficiently and you have the makings of a break out season. TWT

The fact that Coach Martin expects Stokes to average "only" 15 points & 12 rebounds/game tells how much potential this young man has. I will not only be satisfied if Jarnell averages a double-double per game, I'll be thrilled! Imagine how dominate we will be if Stokes & Maymon are averaging 30 points and 20 rebounds a night between them! That's a backcourt which will strike fear into any opposing team (Yes, even the vaunted, defending nat'l champion UK wildcats)!!!
