OSU Hoops Hosts Pair of Unofficial Visitors Over the Weekend

STILLWATER – Recruiting for Mike Boynton and Co. never sleeps, even when it comes to future classes. Oklahoma State basketball hosted a duo of talented unofficial visitors over the weekend, including the No. 18 overall prospect in the 2023 class.

Bryson Warren is a five-star combo guard out of Link Year Prep in Branson, MO. He checks in at 6-2, 155-pounds and is ranked as the No. 18 overall prospect and No. 4 combo guard in the country in the 2023 class.

Warren, originally out of Little Rock, AR, holds more than 20 offers, which include Oklahoma State, who offered back in June 2020, Arkansas, Auburn, Georgetown, Kansas, Kansas State, Memphis, Missouri, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, TCU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech among others.

He transferred to Link Year Prep before the start of the fall semester but played for Little Rock Central last year and helped the Tigers to a 23-5 overall record and the 6A title game. He averaged 24.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.5 steals per game.

He also shot a blistering 57.5% from the field, 43.6% from 3-point range and 76.6% from the free throw line.

The Cowboys also hosted one of the top prospects out of Oklahoma, Parker Friedrichsen, a shooting guard out of Bixby, OK.

Boynton and Co. offered Friedrichsen back in late July, one of several schools to extend offers to the 6-3 guard. He currently holds close to 20 offers, including Oklahoma State, Illinois, Iowa, Oklahoma, Oral Roberts, Purdue, Tulsa and Virginia Tech among others.

During the spring AAU circuit with the Tulsa Hawks, he averaged 21 points a game on 42% shooting from the field, 37% from 3-point range.

Friedrichsen isn’t currently ranked by 247Sports, but I wouldn’t expect that to last very long.
