in response to HazardKYVol:

Stokes is going to be a very good player and a silver lining to this Vol team, but he will not have help on a day to day basis. He can't do it by himself. Some of the other players are going to have to step up their play or this will be a long season.

If the other Vols step up the way they mostly did against Kennesaw, they will be OK. The next step in this team's development will be when the outside players learn that they don't HAVE to heave it up when Stokes passes it out, but to look BACK inside when and if the help defenders come out on THEM. Stokes needs to learn to re-post after he passes it out to be ready for those return passes. If the Vols can make that step, they won't sweat it as much when Stokes gets swarmed inside.
