We will preview the preseason candidates over the next couple of weeks. As the season goes along new candidates can emerge for the award.
Our next Mr. Oklahoma candidate is 2017 Tulsa Central Shooting Guard Elijah Landrum. The summer was kind to Landrum as he notched several Division 1 offers and put the state and nation on notice of who Landrum is as a player.
Landrum brings loads of versatility to the floor. Standing at 5’11, he has the ability to play the one or the two guard.
Not many across the state feature the athleticism that Landrum does. He has amazing bounce and a flashy handle to put defenders through the spin cycle.
Along with his flashiness, Landrum is efficient from the floor. He has NBA range, he could often dribble down the court, let it fly from 30 and fill the scoring column. Yet, Landrum also finds ways to gets his teammates involved.
Landrum and the Central Braves managed to finish last season as the Class 4A State Champions. Central starts this season as the number one team in Class 4A and have a solid chance of repeating.
This team belongs to Landrum and with him at the helm success is imminent for Central.
The Prep Hoops Oklahoma staff will have a close eye on Landrum throughout this season. The sharp shooter has a chance to have a very special year.
