So Stokes has either been dismissed or he withdrew from his HS in Cali. Weird situation unless he’s just moving to a prep school.
Stokes leaves his HS
- Thread starter ScWildcat3
- Start date
He's either moving to a prep school or going the private trainer route to prepare for college ball
Hate to be that guy, but the vibes do not seem great from this kid. Might be better off if he goes eleswhere.
Sorry, didn’t see this thread. Posted one as well…
Not sure what it means, but hopefully it’s not about him being dismissed.

From what I can make out he withdrew. It's been said he could look to reclass but I would think it's too late for that. I'm guessing he's doing private workouts or Overtime Elite.
No its alright rhere was someone that said this was coming
Tyran Stokes, No. 1 basketball player in America, withdraws from California school
Stokes will not play his senior season at Notre Dame.

doesn’t sound good to me. Also I’m really curious as to why he transferred from Prolific Prep to this place for his senior year.
Very tricky for Pope. I trust him but there are very few projected immediate difference makers in this high school class.
Red flags a plenty with this kid. Can you trust giving him a huge bag?
First you say you trust Pope then in the next breath you wonder if he could be trusted getting a huge bag. Make your mind up bro!
Rumors are circulating that it was because of disciplinary issues and he’s supposedly going to prep school. So who knows

I feel the same way. I have really enjoyed not having any divas on the team last year and this year.
Who knows - maybe he'll come to UK, fit in, and lead us to a championship. I'd love nothing more than to be proven wrong.
Last years HS class was the biggest one in years. AJ, Peterson, Peat, Boozer twins, Ament, etc Sucks to not get any of those guys. Jasper Johnson is solid. But he’s not at that level. Hell, I may get a Koa Peat jersey.
Reading between the lines it kind of seems like he may have been kicked out
Yeah no joke we could really use one of those guys
Shaedon Sharpe redux?
Sounds like preemptive cope, get out in front of the disappointment of potentially missing a top recruit by trying to convince yourself you didn't want him anyway
Sounds like a fight and he broke the guys jaw..
I’m starting to question this staff! What are they doing??? Time to move on from Stokes!!!
Better question,, who picks a fight with a freak built 6'8 man child?
Pope would be good for him in my opinion. He could be a positive influence in his life and in the game of basketball.
Sounds tough. Sign him up. We haven't had a guy like that since Boogie. Increase the NIL promised to him.
Polacheck (sp) mentioned that he will not be eligible for the 2026 NBA draft due to the 1 year removed from graduating class.
UK doesn't need a me first trouble maker. Drop him and sign Collins or Holt instead.
I’ll take the kid if he’s good, but just seems like we are being led on a bit. And if he was dismissed from the school, well that’s a flag you pay attention to. Just sayin.
I never love hearing a player going the route of practicing/training with a pro league (or similar). Sort of tells me he is 1000% focused on the NBA and college ball is a far far distant 2nd place. How committed is he going to be for one year at UK when hes willing to dip out on his HS team like that. Sort of gives me Shaedon Sharpe vibes.
Yeah I agree. This thing is starting to trying into a **** show. Grab Holt and get some shooters and a big guy from the portal. I don't think we'll need many guys for next season anyway. I would like to have had Stokes because I see his potential if he gets his head right. I'm starting to wonder about that, tho
Baba
Holt
Stokes
Collins
In that order
“Don’t gotta get em all, just can’t miss em all”

Everyone was worried about Dillingham and he was the shiz here. Bring him on.
