    Jarnell Stokes is no longer considering Kentucky.

    “I’m wide open but they’re out [of] my top five,” he said Tuesday by text.

    According to comments the 6-foot-8 Memphis forward initially gave to Jim Tirey of NationofBlue.com, Stokes said he was hoping to hear more from Kentucky after the Peach Jam but they never called.

    That leaves Stokes, the No. 4 power forward in the Class of 2012, with a list of Florida, Memphis, Arkansas, Tennessee and UConn.

    The Memphis native will attend Oak Hill Academy next year.
