The Volunteers opened up their season last night at home against Kennesaw State in Knoxville and they did not disappoint their fans. Coach Martin had the boys in high gear and with Jeronne Maymom watching from the sidelines the Vols showed just how deep they are but that depth will be exploited next week if Maymom is not available when they have to play three games in four days in Puerto Rico.
Maymom has had a reoccurring bad knee. In March his knee was scoped and last week he was seen on campus on crutches. Coach Martin has not given the media a time line on his reliable power forward's return. Last night the Vols played very good defense and the combination of Richardson, Golden, McBee, Hall and Stokes flowed well together forcing numerous turnovers.
Jarnell Stokes is a beast, that is the only word to describe the mountain with the smooth never panic style. Coach Martin has to be please with his star because Stokes does it all. He stole the ball on defense and blocked shots taking up lots of room on the inside and helping his mates when he could. On offense, he shoots, passes and rebounds. Last night some of his interior passing was fantastic, hitting Kenny Hall on a couple of amazing dishes.
I liked what I saw from the Vols last night, they will be right there when its big dance time in March. Lets hope Maymom's injury is not a big issue and he is allowed to have the senior season Volunteer fans were expecting.
