That was quick. Wonder if Moser or one of the assistants had been recruiting him?

Doesn’t look like OU was on his list before this. Loyola was according to Rivals

Plays for Mokan Elite. Would love to get a pipeline going to that team.

Looks like a quick, shifty guard who can finish in traffic. No idea if he can shoot.

I mentioned him in another thread. Late bloomer. Really took off this year.

Harmon out? Does this signal that?

Definitely looks like a guy that would have gotten a lot more offers if not for the ludicrous transfer portal situation. I like picking a few direct from high school players while everyone's focused on transfers.

Says he shot 44% from 3 this year.

Regional recruit.... I dig it

We haven’t historically gotten many from KC, so that’s a good market to get started in.

hoopsaustin · 04-07-2021, 09:45 PM

Love that its a 2021 kid. Keep adding

lexusooner · 04-07-2021, 09:57 PM

Well at least we have two incoming Fr PG who can handle the rock and shoot the three!

Not necessarily. Keep in mind, Harmon wasn’t our starting PG and played better this year as the 2.

Gotta love the 44% from three.

If we can get some connections and in with Mokan, strengthen up Team Griffin, and maybe Turner helps with Texas Titans, we can get some real talent into Norman.

OU84 · 04-08-2021, 02:11 PM

This player's from the high school in my neighborhood. Moser had 2 other players on his final 4 team from the same school (Blue Valley Northwest). A pipeline to MoKan should be good.

CoachTalk · 04-08-2021, 02:15 PM

In addition to Friday night's Kansas State offer, Mason has had programs like Colorado, Georgia, Loyola, Maryland and Ole Miss reaching out to begin the recruiting process.

Hey there, OU84! Good to see you on the board again! Have you seen Alston play?

Hey Ada! Been reading all year. I haven't seen him play but I am intrigued.

Post more, OU84!

slappy in OP · 04-08-2021, 08:23 PM

OU84 must live in a neighborhood right by me, lol.

My daughter is a freshman at BVNW this year. I will be asking my friends from here in Overland Park about Mason. Excited to get some local talent to OU. I know Northwest have had a pretty good basketball team for a few years now.

Soonerinkc · 04-08-2021, 10:33 PM

He’s not originally from Kck, is he? I know several kids that left kck after middle school. I know a kck coach I coached under... see if knows anything.

OU84 has been a member/lurker/reader since this board was launched. She was also with us on the old Insider board. She doesn’t post much. But make no mistake, she is a diehard OU fan and one of my best board friends for nearly two decades. I’m always happy to see her on the board!

Got a few fellow ou buds in kc. We usually get together but not the alumni thing.

Soonerinkc · 04-09-2021, 07:33 PM

My coaching bud said he’s really good. Quick to the rim and a good shooter. He had one of his kids getting looks from Iowa last yr. signed with South Dakota CC... I believe (prob grades/act issues).

Point is I think he’s pretty good judge of talent. Course he did also say this is against HS competition
