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."
