If you’re looking for a neat, tidy recruiting story, Tyran Stokes is not it, not even a little bit.
Kentucky assistant Jason Hart made the trip out west to see the No. 1 player in the 2026 class, and Stokes responded with a performance straight out of a video game: 52 points, 11 rebounds, four assists, three steals, and two blocks. That’s the kind of line that reminds you why Kentucky, Kansas and everyone else has been circling him for months.
The problem is that nothing around this recruitment feels stable. He has withdrawn from one school because of alleged issues with fighting and grades.
