Could this be another Zion Williams? Where he stuns UK and Kansas and picks Oregon? Who the heck knows.

Final Poll. Where does he go?

Kansas is irrelevant and their coach is washed up. Plus you would have to live in Kansas. I'm not sure what the draw is there. Plus they aren't a Nike school.

My gut says UK for some strange reason. My head says it's been KU the whole time. Also it's 6:30 on inside the NBA

Let's manifest it. We're already hurting let's just have fun until we know otherwise.

My original pick from months ago was Kansas, but the more Stokes kept trolling both UK and KU fans, programs etc., and never did troll Oregon during that time, my pick recently switched to Oregon, but in Norlander’s post, he didn’t mention Oregon so,

I’m still sticking with Oregon, unless they are out, in which case, I’m going with KU. I just don’t see a world where a top tier star player puts their brand in the hands of a guy that has never had a history of developing such players, were Bill Self can point to a whole list of players as a reference.

I am probably wrong but I just don't see Nike letting him go to Kansas. If he does pick UK today, I'd expect Crawford to follow soon.
Had the same thought. Seems sudden and just after the news that Crawford had re engaged in talks to join the staff…

Norlander says he specifically asked if Oregon is still involved and was told by Stokes camp NO, Oregon is out!

With UK being the only Nike School in the running, him committing on a show with Shaq a day after Shaq's daughter committed to Kentucky, I've talked myself into he's picking Kentucky!

Wiki says he plays HS ball in Seattle. He grew up in Cali. Phil Knight might peg Stokes to be the next big Nike ambassador. I predict Stokes stays out west. If Dybantsa can still shine at a place like BYU and be the 1st or 2nd pick, Stokes might take a similar route and pick Oregon. There's too much pressure at KU and UK for banners.

Kansas seems to have been clearing house without much of a fight. Odd for Bill. Meanwhile.

My guess is that he's been signed with UK the entire time, Pope has been running this charade of 1000 visit whiffs on purpose only to unveil Stokes to the entire senile fanbase with one big voila'.

For a guy who likes to control the narrative and never tried to dispel rumors of him leaning to Kansas it makes me think Kentucky.

May be overthinking it but him pushing the time back to 6:30 instead of 3:30 makes me think Kansas due to the time zone. Hope I’m wrong

Without the flourish, you could be on to something. Maybe there are others already signed waiting until after Stokes gets his moment, then they all announce, like he's the deciding factor. The team builder! This is not a prediction, I can dream a little.

Kansas 100%. He isn't coming to play for Pope. He's been reading the forums here and said no thanks!

All the posters picking Oregon are completely lost in this recruitment just like Pope has been.

I guess I'm stupid I picked him to pick UK I just don't see Nike letting him pick an Adidas school. Someone said above that Oregon is out so process of elimination leaves UK as the only Nike school left.

Wouldn’t be surprised about Oregon - seems like something this kid would do - BUT there is not the national TV coverage. U stayin up past midnight on weekends if you have an early job to watch him play nobodies? Love if he picked us. Haven’t had much to cheer about in years. Sure would be nice to get excited about UK basketball again.

I will say it is interesting that on all the livestreams he has been on he almost never mentions Kansas he is always talking about Kentucky which means UK is on his mind more. just something interesting. I also believe that UK has the higher NIL offer and we are a Nike school. With all that said I think he would much rather play for bill self pretty much a toss up
