Oklahoma’s top overall prospect is continuing his productive campaign with MOKAN. With his mid-range game and three point shooting capabilities, he’s not only arguably the best shooter in Oklahoma, he’s also one of the nation’s finest. With his silky smooth shooting touch, look for the Owasso Ram to draw large crowds of coaches from big time programs at his games this weekend in Indianapolis.
Woodson looks to continue his upward trajectory this spring with a pivotal weekend in Indianapolis with Drive Nation (TX). The focus the rising sophomore showed to close out his high school season was impressive, and looks to be setting the stage for him to rack up the offers and college interest this spring and summer. He represents a big time mismatch problem on the offensive end, with his combination of brute force and counter moves as a driver and post up threat. If Woodson’s motor continues to run hot, expect him to be one of the most productive players at a high level event.

The electric lead guard is proving to not only being one of the most dynamic players in Oklahoma, but in the region as well. With an aggressive playing styl, that is backed up by otherworldly quickness and body control, Hopkins is a menace on both ends of the court.

A rising sleeper in Oklahoma’s deep Class of 2026, the youngster will be playing at the 17U level with Blessed Barnard at Recruit Look in Kansas City. He’s one of the best athletes in Oklahoma, with above the rim potential on both ends of the court. Along with Antiw-Donkor’s next level size and explosiveness, he’s starting to become a consistent threat as a shooter from deep. Which should further open up his ability to be a dynamic driver.
The straw that stirs the drink for Team Griffin ‘s 16U squad, Forsythe looks set to strongly close out his spring and summer. He’s floor spacer off the ball, who must always be accounted from deep. But he’s arguably more dangerous with the ball in his hands. Because he’s a quality decision maker that creates opportunities for teammates and keeps the offense flowing. With a busy spring season of baseball now a week behind him, this could be the start of him taking it up a notch. Similar to how his older brother would at this point of the spring in past years.
Highlights
They say numbers don’t lie and Goodwin has continued to put up strong production this spring. He’s one of the top shooters in Oklahoma, and does a good job of playing at his own pace on drives. His silky smooth, shooting touch is evident on floaters, mid-range and finishing at the rim. He’ll have a busy weekend in Wichita with Team Oklahoma.
Highlights
Running with a quality AAO Flight team from Arkansas, Franz has a rock solid sophomore campaign as a composed and controlled lead guard at Edmond Memorial. While he’s a skilled conductor of half court offenses, who is nearly never flustered, the rising sophomore also can play with an edge. With the pace to play faster and flashes of the quicker twitch moves to be a more dynamic scorer. Keep an eye on Franz to make noise in Wichita this weekend.
