Oklahoma basketball: Sooners sign three elite guards in 2022 class
By Chip Rouse
New Oklahoma basketball coach Porter Moser signed a trio of guards to the Sooners 2022 recruiting class on national signing day on Wednesday.
Otega Oweh, Milos Uzan and Benny Schroder signed National Letters of Intent with the Sooners on Wednesday.
Oweh, a 6-foot, 6-inch, four-star prospect from Somerset, N.J., is rated as the seventh best shooting guard in the country and the 72nd player overall, according to 247Sports.
Playing for Blair Academy in 2019-20, Oweh averaged 14.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game. He led Team EYBL (Pennsylvania) to the 17U Peach Jam title and was named Nike EYBL Peach Jam Breakout Player of the session.
Uzan is a 6-foot, 4-inch point guard from Las Vegas, Nevada. The four-star prospect is ranked No. 52 on the ESPN100 and the No. 18 point guard by 247Sports. He is a coach’s son with an extremely high basketball IQ, according to Moser.
Schroder is a 6-foot, 7-inch wing from Germany. Rated as a top international prospect, Schroder averaged 29.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game playing in the U19 NBBL German basketball league.
“All three incoming freshmen have high character and are proven winners,” Moser said in announcing the signings.” They bring length, athleticism and skill to the court…and all can be two-way players with their highly competitive mindset.
The 2022 Sooner signing class is ranked 38th in the 247Sports team rankings.
Moser got his first win at Oklahoma on Tuesday night, a 77-59 win over Northwestern (Oklahoma) State. He will go after win number two on the season on Friday, when the Sooners host the University of Texas-San Antonio, coached by former OU assistant Steve Henson.
