Tyran Stokes and Rob Wright visits conclude with a negative update
Is Kentucky poised to miss on both players?
Kentucky Basketball swung for the fences over the last two days while looking to secure commitments from top-ranked high school recruit Tyran Stokes and BYU point guard Rob Wright. Sadly, their visits have ended, and neither player has made a commitment. Stokes’ visit came to an end Tuesday morning, while Wright’s visit ended in the late afternoon.
Going into the visits, Kentucky was thought to be in a good spot with Wright while facing an uphill climb with Stokes. Well, it sounds like things have gotten dicey with Wright as well. On Tuesday, 247 Sports’ Travis Branham gave an update on Wright , admitting that his confidence in Kentucky winning out is dropping.
“There’s been a lot of smoke and talk regarding the Kentucky Wildcats and Rob Wright. He’s currently on campus for a visit and go back about 24, 48 hours ago, the information I was receiving was positive for Kentucky, but throughout the past 24 hours that leading into today, throughout the course of today, my confidence in him landing at Kentucky is actually decreasing right now, and I’m getting to the point where I’m classifying this as a toss up,” said Branham. “ I think there’s a very real chance he could end up back at BYU .
” And by now, you’ve likely heard how Kentucky was looking to potentially pair Wright with Washington transfer Zoom Diallo in the backcourt. Well, KSR’s Matt Jones says that’s not happening , so we can toss that dream out. As for Stokes, Jones said he thinks Kentucky will continue to wait on his decision.
