Right now, Villanova leads.
He recently took the SAT for the first time.
Stanford is waiting to see what his score is prior to arranging an official visit - their admissions requires that.
Lykes and his parents, in particular, are intrigued with Stanford and interested in learning more about it - academics are important to them and Stanford has near dream school status.
It will be a couple of weeks until he gets the scores. Though he is likely to commit in the summer, he may choose not to decide until after the potential Stanford visit.
You may ask: but what about the Stanford coaching change?
There is an assistant coach now at Stanford that was at Vanderbilt and was recruiting Lykes to Vanderbilt - so there is some tie in there.
Stanford and Miami have more PT to offer - he could start at Stanford potentially.
If he had to choose right now - Villanova would be the choice.
However, Stanford is the dark horse.
