Southern Oklahoma C4 Attack, I Am 3 Prospects pair of teams and Next Level Oklahoma 2025. What made Next Level standout among this group is they are a team of 2025 prospects playing in the same division as teams loaded with Class 2024 prospects and even unsigned seniors. While a few different articles have featured various performers from their team, including the creation ability of quick 2025 guard Jett Schafer Jett Schafer 5'10" | PG Bishop McGuinness | 2025 State OK , here’s a deep look at other standouts.
Elijah Brown
Elijah Brown
Size. Quickness. Explosiveness. The 2025 wing prospect has all the physical tools that jump out when watching him. And it was more than just passing the eye test for the raw prospect, he was the most productive player for Next Level in the two games watched. Brown is impressive as a slasher, as when he does get downhill with a runway he would explode for impressive slams at the rim. His motor also ran hot as he corralled 8 rebounds a game to go along with his team high 14 points a contest. After only playing a little varsity action as a sophomore, Brown has surged to the list of prospects to keep an eye on, as to go along with his production, he’s a high ceiling prospect.
Cooper Bradley
Cooper Bradley
Bradley finished the high school season as a quality shooter for Bishop McGuinness. Now with the graduation of his older brother and a strong group of 2025 and 2026 prospects for the Irish, the younger Bradley looks poised for a bigger role next winter. And his production as a quality shooter, with good size who can attack off the bounce showed he’s off to a promising start. He averaged 12 points for the weekend, as part of their balanced scoring
Another sharpshooter, Miller didn’t get as much varsity experience as Bradley did this past year. He’s a spot up specialist, who also broke into double figures scoring for the weekend. This spring/summer grassroots season between his sophomore-junior season will be pivotal for his development. He was another double digit scorer at 12 points a game.
Rounding out the double figures scorers on the weekend is another McGuinness standout. While he has some perimeter skills, he was also willing to help provide some inside presence. Which makes sense as he has broad shoulders and some physicality to his game. Along with his 10 points a game, he grabbed 7 rebounds.
