The Mamba League Invitational tournament is an annual league created in honor of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant’s birthday, August 23, and “Mamba Day” on August 24. During the event, the best prep hoopers from around the nation came together to celebrate Bryant's "Mamba Mentality."

Tyran Stokes predicted to commit to Kentucky

Louisville native Tyran Stokes has been making waves in the basketball community, with top college programs coveting his commitment. Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, Kansas Jayhawks, Oregon Ducks and Arkansas Razorbacks made the five-star prospects final list.

On3's Jamie Shaw predicted that Stokes will commit to the Wildcats.

"Over the last couple of months, conversations with sources around the recruitment have started to shift toward a Kentucky lean with Arkansas and John Calipari picking up some momentum," Shaw said. "Stokes has not spoken to the media for a few months now, and things remain somewhat quiet around his recruitment."

Stokes is ranked the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2026. The 6-foot-7 wing has remained quiet about his recruitment. He has visited Kentucky, Louisville and Kansas already.
