The University of Oklahoma's basketball team hopes to build momentum off of the commitment of highly regarded 2012 wing Buddy Hield this weekend and add the commitment of another highly regarded wing — Jelon Hornbeak from Grace Prep in the DFW area. Hornbeak, a 6'4 physical guard who is ranked 89th nationally by Rivals.com, has visits set up with Texas Tech and South Florida after this weekend with the Sooners. Kruger and staff hope to cut those visits short much like last week with Hield.
Hield, who took an official visit to Oklahoma last weekend, will take an unofficial this weekend to help the Sooners with Hornbeak, and to also show fellow Sunrise teammates — 6'6 wing Nathan Bain (2014) and 5'10 point Lourawls "Tum Tum" Nairn (2014) his future home. Both are talented players who are now starting to get on the radar nationally, and the Sooner staff hopes their recruitment of Hield will pay off on these young prospects.
The Sooners look to have a lot of scholarships in 2013 to rebuild, and Dallas area wing Nathan Hawkins could be potentially a candidate. The 6'5 wing, from Rollett High, had a very good summer with the Dallas Mustangs and could potential be a sleeper recruit for the Sooners down the line. Kruger and staff are already recruiting 6'6 wing Leyton Hammonds (Dallas, TX), 6'2 combo guard Marcus Foster (Wichita Falls,TX) and 6'4 point guard Kendal Harris (Richardson, TX).
The Sooners will bring in a special recruit in 6'7 forward C.J. Cole (Sperry OK). Cole, who averaged 26 points per game for Sperry last season, is also a great student (4.0 GPA) to go along with a 32 on his ACT.
The 2012 top 20 player in the state of Oklahoma, according to OKHoops.com, is also considering schools like Cornell and Davidson to go along with countless D2 programs from Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and the Texas region.
