Hoops City Highlights

Jarnell Stokes has had an interesting Summer. Stokes head-lined a team full of prep all-stars as the Memphis YOMCA travel team won the Real Deal in the Rock, The Tennessee State AAU Championship, finished runners-up in the Nike EYBL and AAU Nationals in Orlando, Fla. Stokes did more than solidify his status as one of the Nation's premier prep Basketball players. With so much going on in his life at this moment, it was a pleasure to get a chance to talk to the young man about it all. Stokes was kind enough to discuss his work-out regiment, his diet, his over-all preparation, and he even broke down his list of top five potential universities. After talking with Jarnell, it's apparent that he's a bright young man and he is just as good of person as he is a basketball player. Thanks to Tigersportsreport.com's Leroy Watson for conducting the interview.

This is an interview I did with Jarnell Stokes a month before the beginning of his junior campagne. All that has changed since then is that Stokes has more than solidified his place as one of the nation's top hoop prospects of 2012.Here's what I said about Jarnell a year ago. Jarnell Stokes, Rival's 9th ranked basketball prospect in the nation 2012, sat down with PM Hoops's Charley Bass to discuss how his summer was, the recruiting process, what's he adding to his game and more. At 6'9", Stokes has an arsenal of low post moves. He has the strength to over -power and also has the ability to finess his oppenent. Going into his junior year, Stokes stated that he is working towards becoming a more versital basketball player. Look for amazing work from Jarnell Stokes in 2010-11.
