Oklahoma State Offers 2022 PF Jai Smith from Syracuse

Mike Boynton’s attempt to turn his home state into Cowboy recruiting ground continued this weekend.

Jai Smith, a 2022 power forward from Syracuse, New York, announced an Oklahoma State offer Saturday.

Who Is He?

Smith is set to play at Bull City Prep in Durham, North Carolina this season.

At 6-foot-9, 235 pounds, Smith moves well for his size and can guard multiple positions. He plays with a lot of energy and is quite the glass cleaner with nice pop to dunk in offensive rebounds.

In the Rankings

As of writing, Smith is the No. 199 player in the 2022 class and a three-star prospect.

Rivals lists him as the No. 50 power forward in his class; 247Sports has him at No. 45 in the position rankings.

Others Involved

Smith’s recruitment is on an upswing that will likely move him up recruiting rankings shortly.

Since the start of August, Smith has gotten offers from West Virginia, Texas A&M, Alabama, Memphis, Ole Miss, Xavier and others.
