The 2017 basketball recruiting class is finally taking shape under second year head coach Mike White. The first step for White to get the Gators back to prominence will be done by succeeding on the recruiting trail. In 2017 forward, Isaiah Stokes (6-8,273,IMG Academy), White sees a powerful player that will come in and contribute immediately. Stokes is originally from Memphis, Tennessee and is the brother of former Tennessee Volunteer, Jarnell Stokes.
The Volunteers are also making a big push for the forward from Memphis. Just last week, Stokes took a visit to Knoxville. The first of many visits for the talented high school senior.
