Five-star Tyran Stokes is a consensus No. 1 overall recruit in the country and his commitment news is having every top college basketball program on the edge. The 6-foot-7 star averaged around 31 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in her senior season at Rainier Beach (Seattle).
Stokes is reportedly considering Kansas, Kentucky and Oregon. He’s also talking to Gonzaga and Washington. According to Basketball Insider Adam Zagoria, he will announce his commitment after the Nike Hoop Summit on April 11. Stokes is potentially waiting out the transfer portal storm before he figures out his future destination.
Another basketball analyst, Cory Alexander, compared Stokes to Scottie Barnes, claiming the five-star recruit is more offensively skilled than the Toronto Raptors was at the time. Alexander also named one NBA star whose profile is similar to that of a Kentucky native.
” I believe at this stage alone that Tyran is more offensively skilled than Scottie Barnes was at this time…I believe that he is very similar to Cade [Cunningham]…When you look at Tyran…he’s going to be a point at the highest level,” Alexander said.
