Is it time for No. 1 recruit Tyran Stokes<\/a><\/strong> to make his final decision? Goodness, we all hope so. The restlessness is very real for Big Blue Nation, but we could be just a couple of days away from clarity \u2014 if Jeff Goodman\u2019s source is correct, at least.<\/p>\n

With rumors and rumblings all over the place when it comes to the top-ranked prospect originally from Louisville, Goodman is hearing that a commitment could happen to begin the week on Monday. But, like the rest of us, he\u2019s skeptical until it comes straight from the horse\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n

Only Tyran Stokes knows what Tyran Stokes is gonna do, but, the latest word is Monday. Apparently. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was told by one source close to the situation that Tyran Stokes, the No. 1 player in the country, could announce his decision on Monday,\u201d Goodman wrote. \u201cI\u2019ll believe it when I see it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Agreed.<\/p>\n

Maybe the biggest takeaway from his report, though? No mention of Oregon, despite the Ducks\u2019 rumored push in recent weeks \u2014 especially since Jasper Johnson\u2019s move to Eugene and individual fight to bring the fellow in-state talent with him.<\/p>\n

Goodman believes it\u2019s a head-to-head battle between the Jayhawks and Wildcats.<\/p>\n

\u201cStokes choosing between Kansas and Kentucky,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Interesting.<\/p>\n

KSR was the first to report that Mark Pope has recruited Jamal Crawford \u2014 Stokes\u2019 assistant coach at Rainier Beach HS in Seattle and a three-time NBA Sixth Man of the Year \u2014 to join his staff in Lexington. That comes after Pope already signed Stokes\u2019 former Prolific Prep teammate Zoom Diallo out of the transfer portal, coming in from Washington. The Wildcats\u2019 pursuit has been relentless, regardless of speculation about the No. 1 recruit\u2019s personal connection to Bill Self and the Jayhawks.<\/p>\n

He talked about his recruiting process this week on a TikTok live, talking with a Kentucky fan.<\/p>\n

\u201cYoooo, see, you guys are crazy,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cIt\u2019s been very, you know. Bro, the process is very up and down. Sometimes it can be fun, sometimes it can be annoying. It just depends on where you\u2019re at with the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me put it in a way, like this,\u201d Stokes continued. \u201cHow do I put it for a regular person to know what I\u2019m going through? Someone offers you a job worth a lot of money, and you don\u2019t know what there is to come with that job. You\u2019re just like, here, there\u2019s this paycheck. But you have to be committed to the job for ten months, and you don\u2019t know what you\u2019re getting yourself into. Do you take it? Do you feel me? So you have to play out the process and see how everything falls out.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about a timeline for his decision, Stokes was quick to shut down the conversation and move on. Hopefully this recent update indicates there is light at the end of this long tunnel \u2014 whether it\u2019s Monday or shortly after.<\/p>\n

The spot is yours, Tyran. Come take it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
