Oklahoma State Signs Four on 2023 November Signing Day

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State basketball has officially signed four prospects in the 2023 class on the first day of the November signing period.

The class features two in-state prospects and two out of Texas: Brandon Garrison out of Del City, Connor Dow out of Broken Arrow, Justin McBride out of Plano, TX and Jamyron Keller out of Killeen, TX.

"As we continue to build on the foundation that we've laid here, it's imperative that we continue to recruit at a high level," head coach Mike Boynton said in a signing day release. "This four-man class should really help spring us forward. Each of these kids comes from rock solid foundations. Their versatility, skill, and athleticism will give each of them an opportunity to impact our program from the moment they step foot on campus."

–Brandon Garrison I 6'9" Center I Del City, Okla.–

Garrison is the highlight of the class as he checks in as the No. 36th overall prospect in the ESPN 100. He chose the Cowboys over offers from Arkansas, Florida, Houston, Kansas, LSU, OU, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech among others.

He averaged a double-double this past season as a junior for Del City with 13 points and 10 rebounds a game, as well as 1.4 blocks during his junior season. He was also a pivotal member of USA Basketball’s U18 FIBA team that won a gold medal this summer, averaging six points and 4.3 rebounds, while shooting 81% from the field.

"Brandon is the state's best prospect,” said coach Boynton. “He's very accomplished having already won a state championship and a gold medal as a member is the USA U18 team in summer 2022. Brandon is a great rebounder and maybe the best passing post player in the country. His impact will be a great one from the moment he arrives in Stillwater. Brandon has been developed by a host of great coaches in both high school and AAU."

–Connor Down I 6'6" Guard I Broken Arrow, Okla.–

Dow is a 6-6 sharpshooter out of Broken Arrow. He’s currently listed as a three-star prospect and is coming off a solid junior campaign, in which he averaged 15 points and 5.0 rebounds a game. He chose the Pokes over Jacksonville State, Nebraska-Omaha, Oral Roberts, South Dakota State and Toledo.

“At 6-foot-6 and with a burning desire to improve, Connor is the consummate gym rat,” said coach Boynton. “He shoots the best exceptionally well and really has a great feel for the game. He has been coached very well throughout his life thus far. I look forward to coaching Connor and we are excited to welcome him and his family into the Cowboy program."

–Justin McBride I 6'7" Forward I Plano, Texas–

McBride checks in as the No. 129 overall prospect in the country and the No. 13 overall prospect out of Texas, according to On3. He picked the Cowboys over Arizona State, Arkansas, Colorado State, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, TCU and UNLV. He averaged an impressive 13.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists this summer for Drive Nation on the Nike EYBL circuit. That performance included averaging 16.8 points and 6.3 rebounds I the Peach Jam Invitational.

"Justin's game has really taken off over the past six months,” said coach Boynton. “He really has attacked his body and elevated his athletic ability as a versatile forward. Justin can really handle the ball, pass, and shoot very effectively. We are excited about his ability to be a three-level scorer and playmaker for us. His family has had a great impact on him having a high-level work ethic. I can't wait to work with Justin."

–Jamyron Keller I 6'1" Guard I Killeen, Texas–

Keller is listed as the No. 180 overall prospect in the class and the No. 18 overall prospect out of Texas, according to On3. He also played for Drive Nation this summer, where he averaged 15.1 points on 53% shooting from the field, 4.4 rebounds and four assists per game this summer. He chose the Pokes over Kansas State, Missouri State, North Texas, ORU, Saint Louis, VCU and Wichita State among others.

"Jamyron is a junk yard dog, blue collar type player,” said coach Boynton. “He has a level of toughness that has almost always translated to success in Stillwater. As a lead guard, Jamyron can make plays for himself and for his teammates. An aggressive ball hawking defender, Jamyron's presence will be felt on both ends of the floor. Jamyron comes from a strong and close-knit family and has great coaches in mentors in basketball all of his life."

Great job by Coach Boynton and the staff. A really solid class. Coach Boynton and his team deserve a lot of credit for leading the program through a difficult period. Very proud he is a Cowboy. Let's go Pokes!

can we at least wait until they shoot a basket? I'm glad that they signed LOI's, and glad we got another Kalib type guy in the middle.... I'm more interested in the PF McBride.

The only "difficult period" that Boynton has faced is middle of the pack seasons... he hasn't even missed even one of the penalty scholarships yet... for goodness sakes.

Class is loaded with STAR talent. I'm sure these guys will make a big impact. It's a great thing what high end talent can do. 5 star cade Cunningham took us straight to the postseason. These guys will do big things

Always expect the same crap about Basketball from California Cowboy. If we signed a poorly rated class he would be saying Boynton can't recruit. We sign a highly rated class and he implies we shouldn't be excited because they haven't shot a basket yet. But when folks get after him about his posts he says they are trying to pick a fight with him. Some things never change.

leave me out of your rantings, you're just trying to pick a fight.

If you think it's the most wonderful thing to ever happen to OSU, then just say so, leave me out of your rantings.

Thank you.

I did nothing to you, leave me alone.

Remember that last great class the Coach Mike signed..... yeah, they should be upper classmen, but they all left except Kouma. Excuse me if I'm going to wait for them to actually contribute like Avery Anderson, before I start dancing a jig.

I like the last two poorly rated classes as much or better, #83 and unranked (Cisce), so you're wrong about me.

Just tell us what you like and leave me the hell out of your rantings.

Aka well known pessimist

realist
1
: a person who recognizes what is real or possible in a particular situation
: one who accepts and deals with things as they really are

2
: a person (such as a writer or painter) who adheres to a style of realism by representing things in a way faithful to nature or to real life

... a realist, rather than a strong proclivity to melodrama …

He was being nice when he said realist. Dwight on the show is pessimistic as all get out.

Here I won't tag you but I'll still be talking to you like you did by posting that definition. We all know that realist and pessimist is different but the character is pessimistic and that's what that guy meant. Zac said realist to be nice. So for clarity we are laughing at you and not with you. And he meant it bad also for clarity since you ask good or bad. It was bad

and how is it that you know what everybody else thinks and which of them gave you the authority to speak for them?

why are you still bothering me?

I am not a pessimist. I am an optimist. full blown, unmistakable optimist.

for clarity most people on this board like me, and welcome my commentary. They are laughing at you and your pessimistic comments about our team

Stick to the subject man. This isn't about me. Also don't attack me. Also you're wrong. Also multiple times in the last couple weeks people directly said they were tired of seeing your negative posts so I don't think it's unmistakable that you are an optimist. Maybe an optimist wearing camouflage standing next to some trees. We can't tell. So I'll speak for everyone when I say you should actually be the one to go away. Take a hint cali. Or don't and keep being a cynical guy to anyone that posts anything at all
