The state of Oklahoma has been very busy in terms of recruiting over the last week so now is the perfect time for a Recruiting Report to update you on all of the top stories in the last week. From 2022 prospects committing and signing to 2025 prospects earning first offers and every other top story, we have you covered with today’s Recruiting Report. Throughout the summer, we’ll have more of these reports as more prospects start earning offers all over the state. But as always, the easiest way to follow all of the recruiting news is by following us on <a href="http://twitter.com/PrepHoopsOK" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Twitter @PrepHoopsOK</a> <hr /> <h4>SIGNEES</h4> Cade Bond - Guard - Community Christian (Signed With Benedictine College) One of the top players during the Class 3A playoffs was guard Cade Bond. He came up clutch time after time and helped lead Community Christian all the way to the state championship game. Unfortunately, they had to settle for silver after Millwood stunned them at the buzzer with a game-winner. But for Bond, his stock was soaring after his senior season and he recently signed with Benedictine College. Bond is a guard that we honestly did not know much about compared to some of the other prospects within this breakdown prior to the 2021-2022 season. But he showed that a strong senior season can help take you to the next level. [player_tooltip player_id="955379" first="Chase" last="Martin"] - Guard - Jenks (Signed With Wofford) Since his freshman season, Jenks guard [player_tooltip player_id="955379" first="Chase" last="Martin"] has been considered one of the top 2022 prospects within Oklahoma. And coming into his senior season, he was also considered one of the top overall players and would help lead the Trojans back to the Class 6A state tournament. Martin’s senior season was a good one but it could have been much better when you consider that he got injured early on in the season and never really got back to 100%. Despite that injury, he still was one of the more complete players that I saw in person. The recruiting process has been frustrating at times for some of the 2022 prospects but patience has paid off for Martin. Last week, he announced his commitment and would sign with Wofford. <h4>COMMITMENTS</h4> [player_tooltip player_id="958416" first="Caylen" last="Goff-Brown"] - Guard - Central (Committed To Cameron) Central guard [player_tooltip player_id="958416" first="Caylen" last="Goff-Brown"] is in the same boat as Jenks’ [player_tooltip player_id="955379" first="Chase" last="Martin"] in terms of his abilities over the last four seasons. Really since he was a freshman, Goff-Brown has been on the radar and has had an outstanding career leading the Braves. He’s been one of the more underrated prospects over the last few seasons as more guards started emerging. But Goff-Brown has always been considered one of the better guards in the Tulsa area. Last week, he announced his commitment to Cameron. [player_tooltip player_id="1164862" first="Jonah" last="Jenkins"] & [player_tooltip player_id="1164863" first="Vance" last="Raney"] - Guards - Cashion (Committed To SWOSU) Two more commitments last week both came from Cashion duo [player_tooltip player_id="1164862" first="Jonah" last="Jenkins"] and [player_tooltip player_id="1164863" first="Vance" last="Raney"]. These two 2022 guards have been one of the best guard duos over the last few years and it only seems fitting that that dynamic will be continuing to the next level. Each Cashion standout announced his commitment to SWOSU last week and they’ll be headed to Weatherford and should have good careers with the Bulldogs. Cashion has been one of the best small school teams in the state over the last few seasons and Jenkins and Raney are a big reason behind that. They’ve had stellar high school careers and the chemistry they have with each other should pay off in a big way for SWOSU. <h4>OFFERS</h4> [player_tooltip player_id="1068562" first="Brandon" last="Garrison"] - 2023 Center - Del City (Offered By Texas) The first of three Big 12 offers for Oklahoma prospects comes from Texas as the Longhorns offered Del City’s elite big man [player_tooltip player_id="1068562" first="Brandon" last="Garrison"]. The 2023 standout had an outstanding junior campaign and has really established himself as one of the best big man prospects to come out of Oklahoma in recent memory. In addition to the offer from Texas, Garrison was also invited to the Top 100 camp and joins Bixby guard and OSU commit [player_tooltip player_id="967379" first="Parker" last="Friedrichsen"] as invites in the 2023 class. Garrison was absolutely dominant during the school season and he’s had a good start to the offseason while playing on the EYBL circuit. What’s scary is he still has room to improve his game and we can’t imagine what he’ll look like in a few years. [player_tooltip player_id="1391433" first="Carlsheon" last="Young"] - 2025 Guard - Putnam City West (Offered By Oklahoma State) Oklahoma State continues to go after in-state talent early and start establishing that relationship as soon as possible. Another case of that was last week when Putnam City West freshman guard [player_tooltip player_id="1391433" first="Carlsheon" last="Young"] announced that Oklahoma State extended him his first offer from a D1 program. Young is already considered one of the top prospects in the state’s 2025 class so it shouldn’t be surprising that the Cowboys have offered the OKC product. Next month, we will be updating our prospect rankings and unveiling the first edition of our 2025 rankings and Young is about as close to a lock to be a top five prospect within those rankings as you’ll find. [player_tooltip player_id="955383" first="Reid" last="Lovelace"] - 2022 Guard - Crossings Christian (Offered By UCO) Most of the offers that have gone out over the last week have been to future classes within the state of Oklahoma. But UCO is still working on their 2022 class and they offered a guard prospect that has been incredibly clutch over the last few seasons. Crossings Christian guard [player_tooltip player_id="955383" first="Reid" last="Lovelace"] was offered by UCO last week and he’s definitely seeing his recruitment become more interesting over the last few weeks. We mentioned that Lovelace has been incredibly clutch and he has a similar story to Jenks’ [player_tooltip player_id="955379" first="Chase" last="Martin"]. He was considered one of the best players in his class coming into the season but had an injury in late December that had him sit for a decent amount of the season. Despite that, Lovelace helped lead Crossings one game shy of the state title game. [player_tooltip player_id="1068563" first="Trent" last="Pierce"] - 2023 Forward - Union (Offered By Texas Tech) Another prospect who’s already having a great offseason while playing on the EYBL circuit is Union 2023 forward [player_tooltip player_id="1068563" first="Trent" last="Pierce"]. The Union standout was recently ranked by ESPN as a Top 100 prospect in the nation and he’s certainly had more attention on him ever since. In the last week, Texas Tech extended an offer to the Union star. Pierce is definitely a dynamic prospect who at his best, has the chance to be the best prospect in the state’s class. He’s so skilled for his size and his legitimate inside/outside game was a big problem for teams throughout the school season. As far as prospects go, Pierce could be one of the best to come out of a very successful Union program.
