Tyran Stokes, the top prospect in the 2026 recruiting class and likely to be the No. 1 overall pick in 2027 NBA draft, has decided where he will play for the University of Kansas. Stokes announced his decision live on ESPN's "NBA Tip-Off" and chose the Jayhawks over Kentucky and Oregon. This is the second consecutive year that Kansas has had the high school player in its recruiting class, with Darryn Peterson. This move is a significant victory for Kansas, which has not advanced to the Sweet 16 in four consecutive seasons.
