He’s a definite playmaker with the size to be a very good college player. If he can be taught to shoot good shots in his spots in college he will be great.

Elite court vision, handles and passing. It’s a big reason he is ranked number 1, NBA size and athleticism with a 7’0 wingspan and guard skills. You can’t teach that.
On Stokes:
1) How tall do you think he is ??
2) Does he play below the rim ??
3) Great passer !! Maybe elite passer !!
4) Hard to evaluate his defensive ability !!
5) Can he play SG ... I think so ??

Of all the idiots in the world, this is one of them.
Why? Is it unreasonable for me to expect our best high school recruit to be in the Jordan classic, or McDonald’s game?
6’8, above the rim, could play 1-4 easily so yes SG if need be. Defense is definitely the ? Mark you got that right.
Feel like I’m watching a 2k my career mode.
Who the f are these stupid azz announcers? Acting like this is the greatest game ever and saying these players just keep getting better every year lol.

Stokes strengths from what I see. Good ball handler and decent slasher. Great passer and vision. Strong body to post up smaller guys. Weaknesses are outside shooting and looks slow on D
I was just thinking. If we miss on Stokes, there is nothing to blame other than our coach. Kentucky checks three key boxes for this kid
- Higher Offer
- Nike School
- Local
The only thing going for Kansas is Self. Tells you a ton about how Stokes and I’m sure many other kids feel about Pope.

I don't think being local is helping Kentucky, but really it just seems like Stokes isn't interested in Pope/UK
He'll be good with a good team around him kinda like Koa Peat was for Arizona.
I don't think he is good enough to carry a mediocre team to success.
He's a notch below AJ or Cam Boozer.
Yea, seems that way. Take being from the state out of it. I feel like if coaching is even close to a wash, the higher offer and Nike stuff would sway you rather easily.
lol the Jordan brand logo
That was actually pretty funny the way he went about it.
This shat is getting ridiculous. He got me. Got the hell out of me. Waited all night cause I thought he was wearing a white Ky jersey under that shirt.
another shiitty day. And my car tore up again.
Bout to start a depression thread. Gnite bbn
Announcer kept emphasizing Oregon was still an option. Watch Nike work against us!
Stokes showed he is tremendously talented but also pretty sloppy tonight at times. Some great moves and assists, streaky shooter with phenomenal athleticism— and also some really bad decision making— all in one. As impressed with his passing as his willingness this mix it up inside.
He seems intense and talks to himself alot. Doesn’t back down to anyone — very confident about himself and wants to have the ball in his hands. And a lot of great players are like that.
Collins was very impressive at times. Made some amazing moves. Wish Pope could’ve locked him down and disappointed he’s going to USC.

Reminds me of the Bears Eagles fog game where the announcers had no idea what was going on.
Don’t sleep on Oregon.
Been saying that since he was wined & dined in Portland for the NIKE Summit. Oregon is rebuilding & they have Ariza signed . Word around Nike was that he was asked who he wanted to play with from the Portal. Now the MVP at the Jordan BRand game seemed manipulated when it came to playing time.Jordan Brand is owned by NIKE.
WATCH WHO OREGON signs in next few days.
No one knows and if they tell you they know they're lying
It won't be Oregon,It's us or Kansas
His size, strength, and passing ability make him a player that will elevate the win total substantially for any team he goes to. He is going to be able to go where he wants, when he wants, and he is willing to find the open man. If this kid comes to UK, Pope really needs to find a couple more knockdown shooters
Isn't interested? We are top 2 for the kid and he just left here on a visit. Not one person knows where this kid is going
Tyran Stokes was named MVP of The Jordan Brand Classic. He finished with 29 points & 9 rebounds.
He was right to say he is going to decide in two because he needs to see the rosters first because Pope will be lucky to have four starters by then at this rate. When this disaster is over I look forward to reading about how it truly was behind the scenes.
BYU? How? It’s impossible to get 5 star recruits to BYU according to the Pope pumpers.
