Tyran Stokes, the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2026, took to Instagram to give an update on Notre Dame's latest game. The Louisville, KY high school was supposed to play against Crespi High School after a 65-62 victory over Sandra Day O'Connor.

Stokes played for AJ Dybantsa's former team Prolific Prep (Napa, California) where he averaged 12.3 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists before transferring to Notre Dame. He also played for Team Why Not in the Nike Peach Jam U16 category when he was in the eighth grade in 2022.
The 6-foot-7 forward talked about his transfer to Notre Dame with Sports Illustrated, stating that he got time for himself and other stuff, which was tough to get at Prolific Prep:
"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.
