Arizona’s Tommy Lloyd’s position as USA U19 head coach is unique in the sense that he gets to have hands on experience with some of the top talent in the country before they make their college choices. The #1 player in the country for the class of 2026 is 6’7 wing Tyran Stokes. Leaders in his recruitment are currently Kentucky, Louisville, and Arkansas. But recently, Tommy Lloyd and Tom Izzo were spotted courtside for Stokes’ game and the prospect made sure to point them out. Does this mean the Wildcats could swoop in on the #1 recruit in 2026?
