The state’s top recruit in the junior class is off the board. And he’s staying home.
Tyson Pogi announced his commitment to the Oklahoma State men’s basketball 2027 recruiting class on Friday.
Pogi is a three-star recruit and sits as the No. 38 point guard in 247Sports’ national boys basketball rankings for the class of 2027. The 6-foot junior guard also held offers from Saint Louis and Weber State among others before his commitment to OSU.
Pogi shined as a junior to average 26 points per game while shooting 56% from the field, 37.6% from beyond the 3-point line and 87% from the free-throw line. He was later named to The Oklahoman’s 2026 Super 5 second team and Big All-City first team after leading Southmoore to its first 6A state tournament appearance since 2020.
His father and Southmoore assistant coach, Aso Pogi, played quarterback for three seasons at OSU from 1999 to 2002, where he threw for 3,673 yards and 18 touchdowns.
He joins four-star Owasso senior Jalen Montonati as at the latest highly touted local product to commit to head coach Steve Lutz ahead of his third season coaching the Cowboys.
