The five-star recruit from Kentucky, LY is a two-time gold medal with Team USA. He won his first medal at the 2023 FIBA Under-16 Americas Championship in Mexico, averaging 10.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists.

He led Team USA to another medal at the 2024 FIBA U17 World Cup, in Turkey where he scored 12.3 points on 57.9% shooting, including 28.6% from beyond the arc. He also had seven rebounds and dished out 5.6 assists. In the match against Italy, Stokes broke out and recorded 17 points with six rebounds, five assists, three steals and a block in 20 minutes.

Stokes already has offers from 25 programs, according to On3. These include Houston, Utah, UCF, Ole Miss, Kansas, LSU, and Jackson State.

On3's recruitment prediction machine states that the Cardinals have the highest chance of landing Stokes (66.8% chance). Texas A&M, Xavier, Oregon and IUPUI have less than 2% prediction to sign Stokes.


Tyran Stokes on transfer to Notre Dame

Tyran Stokes used to play for AJ Dybantsa's former school Prolific Prep where he posted averages of 12.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists before transferring to Notre Dame last year.

He spoke to On3 about his decision to transfer to Notre Dame, stating that he did not get enough time at the Napa school:

"At Prolific (Prep), it was basketball, basketball, basketball, at here [Notre Dame] I get to enjoy, you know, time with myself," he said.
"Practice is over at 5:30, so I get to go home; I can chill with my dog and do different stuff. I get a little break and have time to do my homework, you know. At Prolific Prep, I get home at 9:30, shower, eat, and sleep. So you know it's different, different experiences," Stokes added.

Stokes still has one more year before he makes a decision on his collegiate career.
