Tyran Stokes' decision, finally, seems to be coming soon.
The No. 1 basketball recruit in the Class of 2026 is seemingly choosing between Kansas and Kentucky, and his announcement is expected Tuesday.
But when exactly?
It appears there's an exact channel and time.
When is Tyran Stokes committing?
Stokes is set to commit at 6:30 p.m. ET during the Inside the NBA show on ESPN ahead of playoff action.
It's worth noting that Stokes' recruitment has taken some turns, so you never know for sure, but this is what insider Jeff Goodman reported on Tuesday:
This is what I was told, also.
Tyran Stokes will make announcement tonight at 6:30 pm ET with the Inside the NBA crew.
Kansas the frontrunner. Kentucky in mix as well. https://t.co/14jd0jlYfN

Goodman added there that the Kansas Jayhawks are in the lead in Stokes' recruitment with the Kentucky Wildcats trying to make the late push to get him.
Stokes played his prep career in California until his senior year, when he ended up at Rainier Beach in the Seattle area.
He's a freakishly athletic do-everything forward who will immediately be one of the best players in college basketball. Whoever lands his commitment is a huge winner of this recruiting class.
