Oregon Gains Momentum in Stokes' Recruitment

0:00On April 21st, Tyron Stokes, the number one prospect in the class of 2026, has Kansas fans on edge with his drawn-out college decision. The Rainier Beach High School star from Louisville keeps everyone guessing weeks into the offseason, creating real roster headaches for the J-Hawks. Yesterday he reposted an Instagram graphic of his top three schools, and surprise Oregon crashed the party alongside the usual suspects. Then jump back into the mix after offering Stokes over two years ago, and hosting him for an official visit last September. They've been quiet lately, but this social media nod suggests they're picking up steam. Other Pacific Northwest whispers, like from Washington, Oregon's Aga, fizzled out fast, even after his move from California to Rainier Beach. Kansas Bay 4, just ready for the saga to end, tired of the uncertainty hanging over Bill Self Squad. Most fans see the J-Hawks as the safe bet, especially since Kentucky couldn't seal the deal during Stokes' surprise trip to Lexington last week.

Social media posts like this one aren't gospel though, Stokes clearly ain't rushing. Keep an eye on Oregon's momentum, but for now, the J-Hawks hold the pole position as Stokes Swartz's future.
