Louisville basketball's No. 1 target in the 2026 cycle is the Louisville native Tyran Stokes. The No. 1 recruit in the nation had a busy past weekend at the Peach Jam, which led to his mom making some comments that have Louisville fans believing they have the edge over Kentucky for her son.
Keiara Stokes reportedly stated her family doesn't watch Kentucky basketball, implying they are die-hard Louisville fans. While this was already known, she stated, "Louisvillians don’t really watch a lot of Kentucky basketball,” making fans believe she is all-in on Pat Kelesy and wants her son to play for the city he grew up in.
