One of the premier scorers in Oklahoma, Miller has put up big numbers this spring against great competition. His ability to play at his own pace, complimented by a high skill level with pumpfakes and footwork has further opened up his scoring ability. To go along with the next level scoring , the long-armed guard has made strides as a rebounder and a defender. His wingspan allows him to play much bigger than his size. With a strong spring under his belt, he’ll now have a spotlight on him in Wichita with Southern Ties .
Highlights
Arguably the hardest playing player in Oklahoma, Deans’ motor has continued to run hot this spring as an unique prospect for Trae Young’s Gold Circuit squad. With a tenacious playing style that combines his long wingspan, and light on his feet movements, the 580 prospect rebounds and finishes like a 6 foot 6 tall player. With his production continuing even against taller players, it’s becoming clear that Deans is an outlier prospect, who has the production credentials to find a collegiate home. College coaches in Bryan, Texas shouldn’t judge a book by the cover and let the noise that Deans creates on the court do the talking.
Highlights
Fresh off a strong junior campaign, Thompson has fit in well on a national schedule for ASAK on Adidas’ 3SSB circuit. He’s a strong shooter from the perimeter, with the mindset and build to be a 3 and D guard/wing prospect at the next level. Thompson has flashes off improving off the dribble game, especially in the mid-range. But his calling card of three point shooting and defensive work should endearing him to college coaches and find him a successful role at the next level.
Since arriving in Oklahoma last fall as part of the new Grind Prep Academy, one thing has become clear. Adamson can shoot the rock. He’s very effective in the mid-range and beyond the arc as an on the dribble shooter and spot up threat. The combo guard is adept as an attacker in ball screens. Which while his best is still pulling up of the ball screens, his shooting touch extends as a passer to rolling or popping teammates. Adamson’s next level shooting and scoring ability will be on display at RecruitLook in Kansas City.
Highlights
Garcia has been dynamite this spring, with the ability to pull from deep and carve up the defense with his quick off the dribble game. With the combination of quickness and smoothness he plays with, he’s proving to be a bet on production player. As his impact on games easily surpass any judgement of his shorter stature. For college programs that target smaller guards, Garcia with the Oklahoma Chaos will be a must watch in Wichita.
Stephens is one of the more skilled and quick lead guards in Oklahoma’s junior class. His motor has ran hot and cold during high school viewings this past year, but signs are pointing to him elevating his game for a crucial 17U spring and summer. When locked in, he’s one of the harder guards to keep out of the paint due to his combination of shiftiness and handles. On drives, he’s a creator and has a quality pull up. He’ll be another Oklahoma prospect in Bryan, Texas with Trae Young’s Gold squad.
Highlights
Davis is an athletic forward who is benefitting from playing with creative guards, who free the Enid 2025 prospect to star is in his role. He’s quick and strong off the floor on two feet as an above the rim finisher and rebounder. Along with working hard in the paint, he runs the floor hard to create transition opportunities for himself. With good athleticism, flashes of being able to cover guards and wings, and a great motor; Davis is sure to endear himself to college coaches while playing with Southern Ties in Wichita this weekend.
