Wasn't sure where to put this, so feel free to move where it needs to go.

Is this kid an OSU lock? Or is OU going to have a legit chance? Not many 5 star basketball players from Oklahoma.

Owasso's Jalen Montonati has had a stellar sophomore campaign after winning gold with Team USA's 2023 National Team at FIBA U16 in June.

I think he’ll go where dad is hired IMO.

He’s a dude.

My opinion?

It'll come down to Oklahoma State (legacy) or a national power like UK, Duke, KU, whoever else. It's still early but if you forced me to pick right now, I'll say Kansas.

But....it's going to be a crazy coaching offseason and for a kid like Jalen, that'll be impactful.

Oklahoma State - should be hiring a new coach

My short list would be: Josh Schertz (Indiana State), Darian DeVries (Drake), Danny Sprinkle (Utah State), Brandon Brantley (Purdue assistant), Chris Mooney (Richmond), Bryce Drew (Grand Canyon - don't laugh, lol), Kim English (Providence)....would need to dig deeper on some other names.

And yeah, I'd think very long/hard about hiring Brian as an assistant if I were OSU. Not saying I'd do it for sure but I would certainly entertain the option.
