Tennessee’s Jarnell Stokes met with the Knoxville media yesterday to discuss his upcoming game against Georgia, but the young freshman who doesn’t know how to stretch still has his mind on the Cats.
“It definitely made me more hungry. I definitely wanted to win. If anything, I want to win at Rupp Arena. I plan on winning, before I leave, at Rupp Arena. I’m saying that on the record right now. It made me more hungry and made me dislike Kentucky more.”
Yeah, and I plan on starting at center for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Just move along, young fella. Some things are just out of your reach.

Dislike Kentucky more? Damn, Tennessee has poisoned the poor innocent kid’s mind. He doesn’t even know how to recognize basketball royalty, he’s so new to college basketball.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:34 am
Ahhh…to be young and dumb again
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:38 am
I plan on winning the Masters this April and I don’t even have an invitation to play!
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
should have enrolled at lexington.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:39 am
Should have just come to UK and he would win in rupp all the time
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:40 am
Gotta learn how to stretch before he even thinks about winning at Rupp!!
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
Good luck big fella, your going to have to face Noel and Bennett next year.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
It is not UK’s fault he came out early and signed with a BUNCH OF ORANGE losers. If he had just waited 1/2 a year he would be loving what he is now hating.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:42 am
Wow, and I thought I liked this kid. Davis and crew gave Stokes a beat down this week.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:42 am
I’ve been talking to him about choosing Tennessee over UK. And we think its wonderful. I’ve told him he will learn to stretch and how not to get blocked or he will be coming home.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:42 am
Plans on winning at Rupp? Is he going to transfer to UK?
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:44 am
Seriously you play for a guy named Cuonzo… That’s like being named Cassanova…on second thought it’s much worse than being named Cassanova. At least Cassanova has some history behind it. Who the hell is named Cuonzo — more like Dundrecous.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:45 am
Jarnell…you’re statement is a stretch…
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:46 am
Stokes must’ve seen a unibrow in his cereal the next day. The monster formally known as Ant Davis just abused that kid. I hope the twitch he developed after the game is temporary!
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:47 am
Ya know what they say, want in one hand and shit in the other and see which one fills up first.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:48 am
Did I ever mention that I hate tennessee and their puke orange colors? This kid must plan on staying at UT for a long, long time. He is still trying to get rid of the red marks on his forehead the ball made from those Anthony Davis blocks.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:48 am
yep
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:48 am
Plans on winning at Rupp before he leaves? Dude, you only have four years of eligibility!
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:49 am
“Some things are just out of your reach.” [Insert stretching joke here.]
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:52 am
Not only does he not know how to stretch, but he also lacks knowledge of basic grammar. It’s “hungrier,” not “more hungry.”
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:53 am
Do they hold eating competitions at Rupp??? Is that what he is talking about??
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:55 am
Jarnell Stokes is transferring to UK???????????????????????????????????????
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:55 am
This has opened up a whole new era for “You know you play for Tennessee when…” JOKES! Let’s hear them Big Blue Nation!
You know you play for Tennessee when your biggest dream in life is to beat Kentucky at Rupp Arena!
Keep the dream if it makes you feel all cozy at night. Never gonna happen! The REALITY is your nightmare! GO BIG BLUE!
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:55 am
He might get some shoes by then….
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:57 am
Unless you’re sitting in sec 17, row J, seat 8 during the second TV timeout for the ***Pieratt’s Fan of the Game***, you will not win in Rupp Arena.
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:58 am
Maybe he should learn to change his pull-ups before his mouth writes checks his ass cant cash. Or maybe hes been smoking some weed that some former Tennessee players left behind in the dorm. Now thats Tennessee Pride
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:58 am
Well, what do you expect? He isnt in college for his brain
February 3rd, 2012 at 10:59 am
Keep wishing. Not going to happen
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:00 am
He’ll never beat us in Rupp. But, this kid has great footwork, a quick first step, and CAN play. He’s going to be a real handful in the SEC if he stays 4 years. I like his attitude, and hope our guys feel the same way facing every team we play.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:00 am
that right there is funny, i don’t care who you are.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:00 am
Probably still believes in the Easter bunny as well keep wearin your orange dreaming your dream….
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:01 am
Did he say “Point. Blank. Period.”?
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:01 am
Bring it there fellah. Should probably worry about not losing to us at home first… Baby steps…
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:02 am
If Dumpy dislikes us now, he’ll really be pissed off after we beat their ass 6 more times.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:04 am
Can someone please tell me how I e-mail KSR?? I can’t find an address anywhere.
Thanks!
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:05 am
Hopefully we play UT again in the SEC tournament so we can embarrass them like we did earlier this week
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:07 am
It would be nice to start a streak of our own against the dirty snitches. what’s that 5 in a rown now?
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:07 am
#23—– is it gabe dadi??
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:07 am
I like this kid, its funny you know he wanted to be a Cat really badly and I would have loved to have had him, he is really good. It just didn’t work out, but since he couldn’t play for the best he wants to beat the best. I like that attitude.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:08 am
35. click on any of the names in blue under the pix at the top of the page. good luck with that, they’ve never answered any of mine.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:08 am
bring it.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:08 am
The Dan and jaelyn call was completely fake. I could hear all the muffled laughter in the background. Why couldn’t you, Matt Jones?

You are welcome.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:12 am
#38 This is the real Gabe Dadi himself–whats up brah?
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:12 am
Has Chane Behanan putting his foot in his mouth not taught these other guys anything? Looks like college is gonna be a let down for Mr. Stokes also.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:13 am
The attempts at fake voices have run their course. They’re no longer funny, they’re just embarrassing now.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:14 am
meh, he’s endearing himself to the inbreds down there..whatever. He got clowned in Rupp, and made to look real damn average. Next up to throw his shit into the second row – Mr. Noel!
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:19 am
From one of Rupp Arena’s “Blue Hairs”: Jarnell, if I had a nickel for everybody that’s ‘”planned on winning’” at Rupp Arena and didn’t, I’d be able to afford one of those sideline on-court seats.”
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:23 am
If he wanted to win in Rupp so bad, he should have just enrolled and paid his own way for a semester. That’s the only way it’ll ever happen.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:26 am
after this statement I will never again believe it when someone opines that “these young players don’t know anything about (fill in the blank)’s rivalry with our team…THEY KNOW
GTD
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:27 am
Don’t get ahead of yourself, big guy. You should probably try picking up a win at Thompson-Boling first.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:31 am
its funny how stokes doesnt even say that ky is good…. man get the heck out of here… u suck at life just like every other player there
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:31 am
Maybe he is going to challenge a UK player to game of freeze tag at Rupp… You never know…
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:37 am
He’s a lowdown dirty dog and I’m not a dog person!
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:37 am
He wont worry about winning in Rupp when he sees his name in top 10 projections…
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:38 am
The kid’s More hungry??? Not possible. Somewhere Charles Barkley is worried this kid will be my new pitchman.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:38 am
I can’t stress that enough.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:46 am
Give the young man a break. He is not old enough to know that his mouth shouldn’t write checks that his talent can’t cash.
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:51 am
He is a young man, he should want to win in Rupp, but I do not believe he will
February 3rd, 2012 at 11:52 am
Stay hungry young man.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Go ahead and ‘say that for the record right not.’ How well have those guarantees been panning out for all these morons? Go ahead and predict to go undefeated next year as well. Point blank, period. Jar Nail.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:03 pm
And yes, you should ‘dislike Kentucky’ even more now. They beat your a$$ by something like 25 points! Can Jar Nail personally get 25 points better? His team sure won’t.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:07 pm
How cute…he really believes Tennessee matters.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Can’t blame him for being bitter. He was THIS CLOSE to winning every game in Rupp but we didn’t have a scholly. He came in and was staring right in the face of “what could have been” and it eats at him. Who among us wouldn’t have a hard time digesting that?
He’s a good ballplayer and we would have enjoyed having him on our team. But life’s funny. Sometimes ya get dealt a hand that you don’t really prefer. Make the most of it, Jarnell. It is what it is.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Hey, everybody needs to some goals to strive for in life, but that comment is DONE. I really like the way the kid plays but that comment puts him on my BUM list. Jarnell, I like the heart being displayed, but I hope you have a couple more goals in mind because Tennessee beating Kentucky at Rupp aint gonna happen my friend.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:32 pm
Is he the new Wayne Chism? Undersized, Headband, Talks ish…
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:32 pm
What was the statement about wants in one hand and poop in the other? Well I eat poop.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:36 pm
I just got two fortunes in my chinese takeout meant for Jarnell while I was reading the comments, seriously, “Aim at the stars, but keep your feet on the ground” and “Blessed is he who makes his companions laugh”. Thought my fellow KSR readers would enjoy these.
February 3rd, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Nostrastokes? C’mon young fella!
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:09 pm
I admire his youthful ambition and every player in the SEC probably shares his dream. Just hope he can handle disappointment well.
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:14 pm
He needs to join another team if he wants to win in Rupp….big feet, small brain
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:19 pm
He low down,,he dirty,,,
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:21 pm
If he wants to win at Rupp he should transfer and walk-on at UK…
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:25 pm
well if the kid was very smart he would have known that you can’t transfer schools in Tenn. , without actually moving , and stay eligible . Thats the reason he’s in big orange pergatory in the first place .
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:27 pm
Stokes does not look 6-9. He looks more like the size of Chuck Hayes, well maybe about 6-7 or so. Either way, those orange people over there in the mountains can give up winning at Rupp at least as long as Cal is here with the Cats. I agree with #73 and #74.
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:29 pm
He should call Chane Behanan.
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:37 pm
Glad he know’s they certainly have no chance to win a national championship so he can only dream about beating us. at rupp. which he won’t do. so need to dream EVEN LOWER.
Becca
February 3rd, 2012 at 1:44 pm
The only way that will happen is if the Rupp reconstruction gets done soon, and the new arena is chosen as an NCAA tournament site, Tennessee has a decent enough year to get in and actually wins their first round game, against a team not named Kentucky.
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:10 pm
Couple of positives here: 1. We now have bulletin board material should we play them in the SEC tounament 2. If the young man works really hard he’ll be able to showcase his game in the NIT before he leaves Knoxville.
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:17 pm
23. You know you play for Tennessee when…you wake up at night barking in your sleep.
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:17 pm
is he tranfering to UK ? That’s the only way he wins at Rupp
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:27 pm
Does Tennessee force lobotomies on these kids upon enrollment?
He ain’t gonna win in Rupp. Period. Point Blank.
February 3rd, 2012 at 2:53 pm
The football team doesn’t play in Rupp, Jarnell. Good luck with that.
February 3rd, 2012 at 3:12 pm
Ha! Ha!
February 3rd, 2012 at 3:15 pm
Nothing against Stokes but that has been the problem with SEC teams the last 40 years. Their goal for the year is to beat Kentucky. As a Kentucky fan I appreciate their ardor, but aim a little higher and SEC basketball can rule the way SEC football does.
There isn’t a person here that wouldn’t take a loss at Tenn every year if it meant winning a NC at the end of the season.
February 3rd, 2012 at 3:30 pm
Looks like they found the stash of left over “weed” that Bruce forgot to take when he got fired.
February 3rd, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Dude is smoking some of that Kush if thinks his wack azz team could ever beat the Cats
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:11 pm
Bravo Stokes. Why criticize a kid for wanting to beat a really good team? I’d worry if he said something like “I really want to beat Ole Miss at the Tad.” Who cares!
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:32 pm
We have FINALLY gotten back to where teams come here just wondering how close they can stay, WINNING is out of the question!! GO BIG BLUE !
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:41 pm
I just don’t like Tennessee man, they dirty, low down, they some snitches, …. I hate orange, I’m not a dog person, I just hate Tennessee man…. I can’t stress that enough man…
February 3rd, 2012 at 6:57 pm
It’s like getting in the kiddie pool and whining cuz you can’t get in the deep end
February 3rd, 2012 at 7:38 pm
Ummm, no.
February 3rd, 2012 at 8:42 pm
This just goes to show we are what we always dreamed we should be. Enjoy the ride my friends.
February 3rd, 2012 at 9:24 pm
The cats sticky d made him look horrible at rupp!
February 3rd, 2012 at 9:31 pm
Mediocre at best! Hanging banners for elite 8 appearances! HA HA you make me laugh!
February 4th, 2012 at 10:35 am
Oh what a dream! To beat UK at Rupp. Many a young man has been destroyed having such a dream. Stokes your dream will be a nightmare. For a little history lesson Chris Jackson and the Shaq went down at Rupp when LSU had a similar dream. So did the Phi Slamma Jamma Houston Cougars. Rick Pitino has a similar dream to win at Rupp before he is put to pasture. Oh what a dream.
