While the 2024–25 season didn’t unfold the way Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks had hoped, the coaching staff has been putting in serious work on the recruiting trail to turn the tide for the future. One major reason for optimism? The arrival of 5-star shooting guard Darryn Peterson, who’s expected to be a game-changer for KU next season.
But Peterson isn’t the only elite talent on the radar.
Enter Tyran Stokes — the top-ranked recruit in the 2026 class and a name every Kansas fan should be watching closely. The 5-star prospect has the entire country’s attention, and now, he’s seriously considering an earlier leap to college basketball. With reclassification on the table, there’s a chance Stokes could suit up for a college program as soon as next season.
Adding to the buzz: Stokes is set to take an official visit to Lawrence this weekend, giving Kansas a golden opportunity to make its case for the nation’s No. 1 recruit.
