The compilation began with Stokes receiving a pass and smashing the ball into the basket. Next up, he received a rebound from the frame and scored another basket.

Following a missed throw from his teammate, the small forward claimed the ball and added more points to his tally. He went on to showcase his shooting skills and dropped a bucket with a precise throw. It felt like Tyran just wanted to show how easy it was for him with an effortless throw into the basket.

Then, it was time for Tyran Stokes to stun the audience with his skills. He received a difficult pass and dunked it home. In the next clip, he brushed past multiple defenders to score a spectacular bucket.

Why did Tyran Stokes transferred from Prolific Prep to Notre Dame?

Tyran Stokes joined Notre Dame from Napa Prolific Prep in July this year despite performing very well at his former school. He recorded 12.3 points, 5.6 assists and seven rebounds per game at Napa Prolific Prep. The young lad cleared the air about his transfer while talking to Sports Illustrated on Dec. 11.

"At Prolific (Prep), it was basketball, basketball, basketball, at here (Notre Dame) I get to enjoy, you know, time with myself," he told SI.

The No.1 small forward in the Class of 2026 wants to have a normal high school experience. His practice gets over around 5:30, and it allows him to chill with his dog, try different stuff, study and even take little breaks for himself.

On the other hand, at his former school, he got back to his room by 9:30 PM, leaving little to no time for him to do other things.
