The 10 highest-rated recruits in Kansas basketball history following Tyran Stokes' commitment

Key Points:

• Andrew Wiggins, the top recruit of the 2010s and first Canadian Gatorade National Player of the Year, was the No. 1 overall and small forward recruit in 2013, later becoming the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft after one season at Kansas.
• Tyran Stokes, a 6-foot-7 small forward and the No. 1 overall recruit in 2024, committed to Kansas, marking the program's consecutive landing of the nation's top recruit following Darryn Peterson.
• Josh Jackson, the No. 1 overall small forward recruit in 2016, had a standout high school career and one strong season at Kansas before being selected No. 4 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft.
• Darryn Peterson, the No. 1 shooting guard recruit, had a challenging freshman season at Kansas due to injuries but still averaged 20.2 points per game and is projected as a top NBA draft pick in 2026.
• Other notable Kansas recruits included Josh Selby, Cliff Alexander, David Padgett, Xavier Henry, and Cheick Diallo, all highly ranked but with varied college success and NBA outcomes.
