- Edmond Memorial Small Forward Kristian Doolittle (Oklahoma)
Doolittle has been a longtime commit to Coach Kruger and the Sooners ball club. He brings talent and size to an already loaded ball club but could see minutes right away.
2. Norman North Shooting Guard Lindy Waters III (Oklahoma State)
Even with the coaching change that took place at OSU, Waters III stayed true to his commitment and will play as a Cowboy next season. Coach Underwood recruited him at Stephen F. Austin.
3. Mustang Shooting Guard Jakolby Long (Iowa State)
Long’s recruiting snowball picked up a lot of steam in his final season with Athletes First (Team Griffin). He picked up offers from several schools in the Big 12, SEC, and the American Athletic Conference respectfully. Long, ultimately opted for Ames to play as an Iowa State Cyclone.
4. Southeast Point Guard Dashawn McDowell (SMU)
Mcdowell will head south of the border to play for Larry Brown at SMU in Dallas. He will join the number one ranked Oklahoma prospect in the 2015 class, Shake Milton, creating a dangerous tandem for the American Conference to lookout for.
5. Edmond North Point Guard Tre Evans (Kilgore College)
The saga of Evans has been a rollercoaster ride to say the least. The once Oklahoma State commit and Old Dominion signee has now inked to attend Kilgore College. Evans will have the chance to leave Kilgore after one year for a Division I school as he is a qualifier.
6. Mustang Shooting Guard Curtis Haywood (Undecided)
Haywood is still undecided at this point. A school could come in on Haywood late with so many transfers taking place or he could be headed the JUCO or Prep route. He is very talented on the wing.
7. Norman North Point Guard Marcus Dickinson (Boise State)
Dickinson recently decided to take his talents to the Gem state to play for the Boise State Broncos. With his ability to score the basketball in multiple ways, Dickinson should see the floor early. He is a competitor and always looking to make others around him better.
8. Harrah Power Forward Kellen Manek (ORU)
Manek had a terrific senior season at Harrah leading the Panthers back to State. He will stay close to home heading to Oral Roberts University. Manek will have the chance to get minutes as a freshmen with his hard work and toughness in the paint.
9. Lawton Ike Combo Guard Darius Roy (Mercer)
Roy has been a long time commit to the Mercer Bears and has since signed to spend basketball career in Macon, Georgia. He is a shooter with the ability to get hot in a hurry.
10. Putnam City North Point Guard Micah Speight (SNU)
Speight had a fantastic season and even picked up an offer from ORU at one point. Since then he has committed to Southern Nazerene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. Speight will have a great chance to come in and play big minutes at SNU right way.
11. Deer Creek Combo Guard Elyjah Clark (Missouri Southern)
Clark had several in-state schools that would’ve moved mountains to land him. He had other plans and signed with Missouri Southern State University in Joplin. Clark will fight for playing time immediately in the tough MIAA Conference.
12. Mustang Power Forward York Benjamin (Texas A&M Corpus Christi)
Benjamin spent his final year at Mustang and it has helped his recruiting. His size and motor is needed at Texas A&M Corpus Christi where he has chosen to continue his career as a student-athlete.
13. Jenks Point Guard TJ Washington (Prep School or JUCO)
Washington was once signed to play with IUPUI has since backed out of his NLI and will play with KC Pray and Play and Pro Skills throughout the summer. He is an undersized Point Guard with great speed with the rock in his hands.
14. PC West Point Guard Marquis Johnson (UCO)
Johnson had a breakout senior year that caught the attention of many area colleges. After capturing a state title, Johnson since signed to play with UCO. He will fight for playing time as a freshmen with his toughness.
15. Owasso Combo Guard Kinzer Lambert (Missouri Southern)
Lambert will be apart of a hefty class signed to play at Missouri Southern State and will likely make an immediate impact. He signs to Missouri Southern with three other Oklahomans.
