No. 1-ranked 2026 prospect Tyran Stokes will not play AAU basketball this summer, sources tell ZAGSBLOG.
Stokes, the 6-foot-7, 245-pound forward out of Notre Dame Sherman Oaks (CA), has long been rumored as a potential reclass candidate.
Last summer playing up at the 17u level, Stokes averaged 20.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists for the Oakland Soldiers in the EYBL regular season. He was a top-10 scorer out of the entire EYBL circuit.
Specifically at Peach Jam, Stokes averaged 20.6 points and 10.3 rebounds while shooting 52.8% from the field and 9-of-18 from 3-point range. He had a huge hand, along with No. 1 2025 prospect A.J. Dybantsa, in the Soliders’ run to the title game. Stokes scored 22 points and grabbed nine rebounds as the Soliders fell to Nightrydas Elite, 71-62.
Stokes took an official visit to Louisville in October. He has not taken any other visits. Other schools to offer Stokes include Alabama, Auburn, Arkansas, Cal, Houston, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, North Carolina, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, UCLA, USC and UCF.
The five-star is originally from Louisville. Stokes will be draft eligible in 2026 if he decides to reclassify.
