I just don't believe the whole "waiting on Self" narrative to the Stokes recruitment.
Just because Self has made a return official to the media doesn't mean he hasn't discussed it with Stokes.
I believe they already know the answer.
It's going to be Self or Vaughn as KU coach next season.
Maybe Stokes is deciding whether he wants to play for Vaughn or not.
I kinda lean to the fact that he will make his decision after the portal closes on the 21st.
Not good for the schools involved but gives him the clearest picture of who he will be playing with.
