KU's #1 recruit Tyran Stokes receives praise from Bill Self and Melvin Council

His talent is, you know, he's huge. You know, he's 6'8", 240, could be a tight end on a lot of Big 12 football teams. Coach says I'm very versatile. He loves my passing. I love to pass. I love to get my teammates involved. He's fantastic. Like I told him in practice, like, the team going to go as long as you're going to go. Like, we're going to follow you. You're the biggest combo guard in the country. You can play one, two, five. To be that skilled and that good a passer and that unselfish, He's the type of guy that guys want to play with. It's going to make it fun for me. Is there one area that you really feel that you need to, like, on the season approaching, kind of work on or address? Just, honestly, controlling my emotions. That's what I would say. Like, when things aren't going right, just knowing how to control those. He's a great kid. Now, is he emotional? Yes. And don't you guys like guys that care enough, that can be emotional and show emotion? Absolutely. Love it. But could he be too emotional? Maybe. He hadn't been with us at any point. And I've coached him as hard as I have anybody else on the team. And all he does is come back for more every day. I think he's been great.
