Tarkanian Classic: Signees shine in front of future coaches; Wednesday standouts return for more

Posted Dec 21, 2024
We stuck around late to watch top-ranked junior recruit Tyran Stokes of Sherman Oaks (Calif.) Notre Dame take the floor. Facing Timpview (Utah) High, we expected Stokes to set the tone, but opposing headliner Dean Rueckert had other plans in mind. A 6-foot-6 wing who is ranked No. 44 in 2026, Rueckert was the best player on the floor in the first half. (247 Sports)
