Oklahoma State Signs 2023 Four-Star Forward Eric Dailey Jr.
STILLWATER – Oklahoma State’s 2023 signing class is now complete as four-star power forward, Eric Dailey Jr. has signed with the program.
Dailey signed with the Pokes over offers held from Kansas, Kentucky and Michigan among others.
The addition of Dailey, who checks in at 6-7, 215 pounds, gives Mike Boynton and Co. a consensus top-15 class in the country, with ESPN giving them the No. 10 spot.
"I've known Eric for most of his life and I am beyond thrilled that he has chosen to become part of our program along his life's journey to become a pro," Boynton said in the program’s release. “Eric's parents have raised a hard-working, respectful and goal-oriented young man who possesses a high-level desire to succeed. He wants his team to win more than anything and has always been a great teammate.”
Dailey comes from IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL, and played a key role in helping USA Basketball win a gold medal at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship this past summer in 2022. He was also on the roster in 2021 with USA Basketball when they won gold at the 3x3 U18 World Cup in Hungary, as well as included on the roster for the 2023 USA Men's Nike Hoop Summit.
This past summer at the FIBA U18 Americas Championship, Dailey averaged 9.5 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists a game while shooting 43% from 3-point range.
He joins an already stellar signing class that includes fellow USA U18 teammate, as well as McDonald’s All-American Brandon Garrison out of Del City, OK, a pair of top-150 national prospects in Justin McBride out of Plano, TX and Jamyron Keller out of Killeen TX, as well as in-state standout shooter, Connor Dow out of Broken Arrow, OK.
