2019 Recruiting

[Maverick008]

So 247 Sports is completely wrong on Hall. Got it.

The last 3 crystal balls were to OU, and not just from OU insiders.

Are you thinking Jalen Hill not Hall?

I might be. My bad. That makes more sense.

 

[BCSooners]

Victor Iwaukor and Jalen Hill should be making their way up to Norman today for official visits over the weekend. Two targets that OU I'm sure would take commitments on the spot.

Devion Harmon will be there as well, big plus.

Thanks BC, the more I watch and read about Victor, the more I hope he jumps on board. I want high motor kids and he seems to be that in spades. His offensive skill level could use some refinement and he may not develop into a scoring juggernaut but the kid has no fear attacking the rim and on defense. Trying to remember where I read this about Victor but the reporter said he maybe the top or close to the top shot blocker in the class. His analysis could be off but Vic's film shows he has rockets on his feet. He's not the biggest but he can elevate and has the timing to help offset him not being a 6'10" plus prototype IMO. I could be off on that take but I don't think people should be disappointed if we are lucky enough to nab his commitment.

Anyone out there want to give a breakdown on Jalen Hill? I'm not very familiar with his game.

Hill is a big time scorer, very smooth.

Any news on how the visits went?

 

[Abe]

Excellent question.Hopefully someone will actually post recruiting news or updates on the visits. Lack of civility on several of the other threads is less than impressive.

Amen Abe! More basketball news is welcomed.

Some of our more enlightened posters ran off the best OU basketball recruiting sources on the web. So don't hold your breath looking for inside info on visits or targets.

Havent heard about Victor (picked up a CB) but ill be shocked if Hill isnt a sooner by the time OU tips off in November.

Harmon 5 star top 30
Reaves Highly sought after transfer
Hill 108th by 24/7
Iwuakor 170th by 24/7
Tray Jackson 94th by 24/7


Thats really good class. Add a juco impact guy and save a ship for grad transfer or a big dawg in the late signing period.

I alway bet we have 1-2 transfers after this year.

Maybe get 1 of the Braun, Ellis, Armstrong, williamson, timme, mcdaniels, Hall (best chance) if we are lucky...

Ellis was offered by UNC, blowing up from his summer performance.

We got in on Ellis late, but just look at the guys we offer 1-2 years ago as unranked guys and then they blow up... Its an impressive list.

I view it as OU just turning into a glorified scouting department for the big boys. Which is not a good thing if OU cant land a couple of those. Harmon is a very good start, but if OU jmis just a scout for KU, then OU will go nowhere in the scheme of things.

Its not for lack of trying... Cant make a kid come here. but i get what youre saying for sure.

I think we'll be fine.

Yeah I think we were the 1st major program to offer Myles Turner then he blew up, same with McDaniels I believe.

May be true, but it gives you faith in OU's evaluation process. They just need one of those guys to be grateful for the early OU offer and be impressed with the Griffin center and wearing Jordans and commit!
