In-State Wing Matthew Stone Sets Commitment Date

With the COVID-19 pandemic heavily deterring the major AAU circuits this summer, Matthew Stone is still an underrated recruit, but that could change shortly.

Stone released his top five schools and announced a commitment date Sunday. At 7 p.m. on Sept. 15, Stone will choose between Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, North Texas and Tulsa.

The 6-foot-4 wing out of Kingfisher is still unranked in the 247Sports composite rankings, but Rivals lists him as a three-star prospect.

OSU was Stone’s second DI offer (behind Tulsa), coming in June of 2019. Stone pairs with OU commit Bijan Cortes at Kingfisher, where the two won a state championship together in 2019.

He has played summer ball recently with Buddy Buckets and TAZ Elite, turning some heads with OSU offers CJ Noland, Jalen Lake and Wade Taylor.

Stone was one of the nine 2021 prospects I noted to keep an eye on at the end of August, so his decision could make him either the first piece of Mike Boynton’s 2021 class or provide a little more direction as to where it’s heading.
