Forsythe's offer list is as diverse as just about any recent prospect from Oklahoma. In state powers Oklahoma and Oklahoma State are of course in the mix, while Villanova joins California, Wake Forrest and programs such as Colorado State, Florida Gulf Coast, Loyola Chicago and more. Keep an eye on Wichita State as well, while Purdue has showed interested and Matt Painter watched Forysthe in person last week. [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin'] closes out their schedule with a few games at TB5's The Stage in Dallas. Also a standout in baseball, look for the Dale Pirate to continue to balance a busy schedule with official visits this fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1343195"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"After a strong end to his tournament in Houston, the Victory Christian forward will be looking to carry his momentum forward up north this weekend. This week, Mason added Buffalo and Oklahoma Baptist to his productive spring offers of Ohio, Portland State, Jacksonville State and more. Along with [program_tooltip program_id='2075973' first='Tulsa' last='Hawks'] teammates [player_tooltip player_id='1367215' first='Chiante' last='Tramble'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1367226' first='Darian' last='Grant'], Mason should be a popular prospect to be watched by low to mid major coaches.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1391433"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Oklahoma's top 2025 prospect continued to collect high major offers by adding Missouri to his collection. The Tigers have successfully recruited Oklahoma recently, and the athletic, aggressive Young would seem to be a good fit for the Tigers' up tempo style. Along with instate programs (Oklahoma and Oklahoma State), Arizona State, Kansas, Mississippi State, Mississippi, TCU and more big time programs have entered the picture for the complete guard. Who along with his dynamic driving and defending ability, has shot it very well for distance on the 3SSB circuit.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1391440"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Arguably the most improved player in Oklahoma over the last few months, the athletic hybrid forward has been a monster for Putnam City West and [program_tooltip program_id='2078402' first='Team' last='Griffin'] this spring and summer.  He showed the full array of his abilities by averaging 15 points a game (55.6% from three) and adding 10 blocks in 6 contests. While his jumper has looked better this spring, it's the energy he plays on defense and improved finishing at the rim that has really elevated his profile. Schools have taken note as in June Oklahoma State, Iowa and Tulsa were among the offers. Oklahoma, East Carolina and Oral Roberts have now entered the picture. The ascending prospect will likely add to his offer list after this upcoming tournament.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1552319"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Oklahoma's Class of 2026 headliner continued to raise his national profile with a great week at the Peach Jam.
