STILLWATER – Oklahoma State just landed its first commitment of the 2023 class. Parker Friedrichsen, a sharpshooting guard out of Bixby (OK) High School, took to Twitter on Monday to announce his commitment to the Pokes.

Friedrichsen, a 6-3, 165-pound shooting guard, held more than 20 offers and chose the Cowboys over Creighton, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, ORU, Tulsa and Virginia Tech among others.

Friedrichsen was in Stillwater on an official visit the weekend when the Cowboys upset No. 12 Texas Tech 52-51 to close out the 2021-22 season.

OSU commit Parker Friedrichsen on his official visit in early March.

In his end-of-the-season press conference, head coach Mike Boynton talked about the need to add shooters to the roster. While it’s not in the 2022 class, it doesn’t get much better than adding one of the best players and best overall shooter in the state.

This past season as a junior, Friedrichsen averaged 27.8 points a game, as well as 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 3.3 steals.

He recorded two 40-point games this season, against Jenks and Broken Arrow, as well as posting 30+ points 11 times this season. He dropped 39 against McAlester and 33 and 31 points against Tulsa Union.

Friedrichsen is a four-star in the 2023 class and is currently the No. 104 overall ranked prospect in the country according to the 247Sports composite.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
hopefully a good team doesn't come knocking, and we can hang onto him. (good team = one better than listed on his offer list in this article; Kentucky, Duke, Zags, etc.)

I also meant he could be a court leader like Page, Big Country, Bobick, Forte III, Solomon etc.

hmmm.... I've never heard of anybody referring to that group as court leaders.... they were all role players. BC was a go-to scorer because of his size and soft touch, but Sutton is who I would consider the court leader during most of that time BC was here.

the others all had grit and are some of my favorite all time Pokes... were any of them even team captains? (I honestly do not know)

when I thing of court leader in BB, I envision the kid who is standing out front waving the other players into position.

may be just semantics.
