Dec. 23, 2011
Tennessee basketball coach Cuonzo Martin announced Thursday that Jarnell Stokes, a five-star power forward from Memphis, has signed an institutional offer of financial aid and will enroll at the University of Tennessee for the start of the spring semester (which begins Jan. 11).
Stokes graduated from Southwind High School this month and will be eligible to play for the Volunteers after the all of the following three procedures are completed: he is officially admitted to the university; he is added to UT's institutional squad list; and he is approved by the NCAA Eligibility Center.
At 6-8, 250 pounds, the 17-year-old Stokes is rated as a consensus national top-20 prospect by PrepStar.com (No. 11) Rivals.com (No. 11), Scout.com (No. 11), CBSsports.com (No. 16) and ESPNU (No. 18). Rivals.com, and PrepStar.com have Stokes ranked as the No. 1 prospect in the state of Tennessee.
Stokes chose Tennessee over Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky and Memphis.
