2026 Recruiting
-
Bossi reporting Branch's NIL ask is "steep".
Stokes while down to 3 just got offered by Vanderbilt.
Not much on when either could make a decision
-
Would prefer Branch personally. But seems like the staff is going to wait for Stokes first.

Talent wise I get it, and if Bill does stick around another year Stokes is the kind of guy he loves at the 4...

@TYOHawk From what I've read KU really isn't much of a factor at this point for Branch. He listed three Schools and as of now KU isn't one of those three
-
Prefer Branch myself but Bossi makes it clear, not many are going to be able to afford him and still get quality players in the portal.
Stokes is a talent but boy there are concerns there with character and behavior. I shouldn't be surprised we are attracted to that though.

On Stokes from Vandy Site
Tyran Stokes reported that he has an offer from Vanderbilt. I’m told it’s not just an offer, but that Vanderbilt now makes it a “Top 4.” The leader of the pack for a while has been Kansas, but his agency would rather him sign with a Nike school because he has a deal with Nike. Oregon currently has the biggest monetary offer on the table. Kentucky is the other school he is considering. Vanderbilt is trying to make a late push. As far as a timeline, there currently “isn’t one.” I’m told this recruitment has been a little messy, which is maybe why Vanderbilt is trying to swoop in at the last minute.

The high usage Tre White/JWilson role is right there for him. Not to mention playing with his childhood friend at PG.
