Oliver D Wallace – There’s a strong fundamental base for the youngster headed to Booker T Washington. He’s confident as a shooter, with the ability to readjust and hit one-two dribble pull ups. He plays with his head up and an opportunistic style on both ends of the court. He does this while also not trying to force bad shots or gambles on the defensive end.
Isaiah Thompson Isaiah Thompson 6'1" | PG Enid | 2027 OK – A sharpshooter from deep, Thompson has the “shooter swagger” movement and shot it well enough from three to back it up on Saturday. In the wide open final contest of the event, Thompson’s smooth shooting form also was efficient in the mid-range. Enid had a bit of a youth movement with 2025 and 2026 players last year and the addition of Thompson this fall could make the Plainsmen a darkhorse in 6A.
Izaiah Wilson Izaiah Wilson 5'7" | PG Millwood | 2027 OK A competitive smaller guard, Wilson often applied extended ball pressure along with flashes of good passing and vision. That quickness that made him disruptive on defense also translated with being able to find his way downhill. Where some of his finishing showed good ball control, stop and start ability and breaking out a floater to score over the outstretched arms of foes. Headed to Millwood, the Falcons are deep with guards but Wilson shows some promising competitive traits to keep tabs on going forward.
#462 Brody Scott Brody Scott 5'9" | PG Fort Gibson | 2027 State OK A crafty guard, Scott made the list of best small town players from the event.
#554 Merrick Gregory Merrick Gregory 6'3" | SF Dickson | 2027 State OK One of the higher upside prospects at the event, Gregory was covered in Small Town standouts
#345 Gregory Nash Gregory Nash 5'9" | PG Booker T Washington | 2027 State OK A flashy lead guard, Nash immediate stands out thanks to his eye catching ball handling along with flair on his passes. He has great command and feel on when to use ball fakes that create openings for himself and his teammates. At the rim, he understands how to use angles and when to go for reverse layups, using the rim to protect his shots from defenders. Nash has the look of a player with heavy experience of quality middle school AAU ball and will add more ball handling depth to a guard heavy Booker T Washington roster this winter.
