Big Stretch Upcoming for Oklahoma State Basketball on the Recruiting Trail

The Cowboys already have one four-star commitment and are on the pursuit of at least two more. It could make for a big few weeks.

Jalen Montonati’s commitment means the Cowboys already have the No. 37 class in the country despite having just one pledge. Latrell Allmond, a four-star forward, is expected to announce his college commitment on Monday, picking among OSU, Maryland, Virginia, Indiana and Tennessee. Then on top of all of that, OSU hosted four-star guard Parker Robinson this weekend.

If Allmond and Robinson were to both pick the Pokes, the Cowboys’ 2026 recruiting class would jump up to the No. 3 class in the country as things stand, sitting behind only Missouri and Kansas, according to 247Sports. That three-man class would rank higher than the current four-man classes of Michigan and Florida State.

Allmond’s recruitment has been close to the vest. He was at Maryland this past weekend but announced that he’d announce his decision before going on the visit. Allmond visited OSU the weekend of Sept. 19, and he’s also visited Indiana (June 17), Tennessee (Sept. 13) and Virginia (Sept. 26).

He’s the No. 27 player in 247Sports’ Composite ranking for the class. He’s listed at 6-foot-8, 220 pounds and averaged 21.8 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 2.3 blocks a game while shooting 66% from the field and 44% from 3 as a high school junior.

Along with being an elite-level prospect, Allmond would likely have the opportunity to contribute early in Stillwater, as similar-style players Robert Jennings II and Christian Coleman are entering their last year of eligibility.

Robinson is a 6-foot-5 guard out of Maryland who is a veteran in the Overtime Elite league. In the regular season last year, he put up 14.1 points, 4.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists a game while shooting 55% from the field and 33% from 3 against a high level of competition.

Robinson is the No. 116 player in the 247Sports Composite ranking for the class and also has offers to Illinois, Providence, West Virginia and others.

Those two would add to 6-foot-7 in-state sniper Jalen Montonati, who committed to OSU on Sept. 25. An OSU legacy, Montonati is the No. 59 player in those rankings we’ve been referencing and has a shot this year to become the first three-time Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year in boys basketball.

All that is to say, this has the makings of a high-level class, but the Cowboys still have to finish.
