More good news

The good news just keeps rolling in for Georgia fans.  It is getting a little eerie, no?

This time, it is out of Knoxville:

Jarnell Stokes is bypassing his senior season at Tennessee to enter the NBA draft.

Stokes, a 6-foot-8, 260-pound forward, confirmed Friday at a news conference that he has decided to begin his pro career. The news was first reported by CBSSports.com.

First of all, my congratulation to the young man.  It will be a challenging road for him, as his build leaves him as something of a tweener.  However, he has game, and I suspect he will find a way to contribute to whatever team takes a flier on him.

Second of all, good riddance.  Stokes was all but unguardable when the Dawgs went to Knoxville this past season.  We were never more outmatched than when the opponent had a real post presence.  Hopefully his subtraction, plus the addition of our two freshman, can start to swing that pendulum back towards the middle.
