Decision day has arrived for Tyran Stokes, who’s long been the No. 1 recruiting target for the 2026-27 Kentucky Basketball roster. But unfortunately, it appears the Kansas Jayhawks will win this battle.
Shortly after news broke of Stokes’ imminent decision, On3 recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw logged a prediction in favor of Kansas.
In addition, Travis Branham said the 247 Sports Crystal Ball prediction that Kansas will land Stokes will remain unchanged heading into the decision.
This is how this recruitment has been trending for a while now, but that didn’t stop Mark Pope from making one final push to get Stokes to Kentucky, even hosting him for a visit recently while also pursuing NBA great Jamal Crawford, who is currently an assistant coach at Rainer Beach High School, where Stokes played his senior season.
Oh, and the cherry on top of all this? Kentucky and Kansas will meet in this year’s Champions Classic, as though the stakes weren’t already high enough.
