Kentucky self-reports NCAA violation related to Tyran Stokes recruitment

Summary

The Kentucky Wildcats reported a minor NCAA violation connected to Tyran Stokes' recruitment. Assistant coach Mo Williams mistakenly responded to a social media post by Stokes during his recruitment, which is against NCAA rules regarding contact with unsigned recruits. Kentucky has imposed a 45-day ban on contact with Stokes and a 14-day ban on electronic communication should he seek a release from Kansas. The NCAA has added an additional 7-day ban on written or electronic contact with all recruits. The violation is categorized as a level III infringement, the least serious type.
