Lindsay Schnell, Senior Writer for the Athletic, Joins Big 12 Today!

Lindsay Schnell, senior writer covering college basketball for The Athletic, joins Big 12 Today to break down her latest feature on Tyran Stokes—the No. 1 prospect in the 2026 class and a future Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball star.

Schnell dives into Stokes’ elite talent, physical presence, and evolving mindset, while sharing how her perspective on the 6-foot-7, 230-pound Louisville native has shifted over time. She details why he’s viewed as a true program-changing player, his ability to attack the rim, and the journey that’s made him one of the most talked-about young players in the country.

Already a three-time gold medalist with a growing national profile, Stokes has long been on the radar of coaches and scouts as a potential 2027 lottery pick. Schnell also explores his background, family influence, and what Kansas fans can expect when he arrives in Lawrence.
