Here Comes the Boom: Joe Tipton Explains Why Tyran Stokes Postponed His Kentucky Visit

Here Comes the Boom welcomes back On3 national basketball analyst Joe Tipton to preview the upcoming live period. KSR will have boots on the ground in Memphis as the Nike EYBL’s second session kicks off this weekend.

Tipton previews the live period by breaking down who he’ll be watching for among Kentucky targets. He mentions five-star prospects like Jordan Smith Jr. and Christian Collins, providing updates on their recruitments.

Tipton also talks about the recruitment of 2026 No. 1-ranked prospect Tyran Stokes. Stokes postponed his visit to Kentucky, which was set to take place from May 15-17. His mother told KSR+ that a new date for the visit is yet to be determined. He’s already taken official visits to Louisville in Kansas.

KSR+ is tracking where each of Kentucky’s top recruiting targets are playing AAU this summer. Three of UK’s top targets in the 2026 class are skipping AAU basketball.
