Sooners shoot for length in 2025 hoop signing class

Oklahoma head coach Porter Moser went for scoring and shooting efficiency in bringing in transfers and first-year recruits as he built his 2024-2025 roster while looking for more length with the signing of the Sooners’ 2025 recruiting class.

Recognizing that Oklahoma will lose some length after this season due to the departure of forwards Sam Godwin And Jalon Moore along with a 6-foot-10 Alabama transfer Mohammed WaagMoser signed 6 feet, 10 inches Kai Rogers from Atlanta, Georgia, and 7-footer Andreas Holst from Denmark.

Also joining the Sooners’ 2025 recruiting class is a 6-foot-4 small forward Alec Blair from Concord, California. A two-sport star, Blair will also play baseball at Oklahoma, reminiscent of former OU basketball All-American Ryan Kleinwho also played baseball while starring in basketball at OU.

Originally from Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, a suburb west of Milwaukee, Rogers, a four-star recruit with a 7-foot-4 wingspan, averaged 20 points, 13.6 rebounds and 4.3 blocks during his high school year. Instead of playing as a senior in high school. Rogers joined the Cold Hearts team of the Atlanta-based Overtime Elite league.

Moser went abroad for the 2-meter-tall Holst, who played for the Danish national team’s 2024 FIBA ​​U18 Championship. The OU head coach likes the Dane for more than just his size and height. “He can knock down threes, he’s athletic, he’s mobile and he can run,” Moser told reporters this week. “It sits way above the rim, and it’s just unique as a 7-foot wing.”

Blair is a four-star recruit who is ranked No. 9 at his position and No. 49 nationally by 247Sports. He averaged 19.3 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.3 assists as a junior at De La Salle High School in Northern California. He also led his team in points and rebounding his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Moser’s 2024-25 Sooner team will play Stetson on Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center.
