2027 Sooner State Standouts at Session 9: Norman
Session 9 in Norman, OK brought the energy, passion, competition, and skill. Each guy on the floor was ready to go to work and claim what is theirs. I saw an abundance of standouts from each class. As a native of Oklahoma and a journalist for high school hoops here in the area, I already had previous knowledge of which Oklahoma hoopers would perform this weekend. To recognize them all, I will start out with the soon to be seniors of the 2027 class.
Keaton Reynolds | 6'2 | G | Tulsa Hustlers | Owasso
Keaton Reynolds continues to establish himself as one of the more productive guards in the area with another strong weekend performance. The 6’2 guard put together a 24-point outing and has now averaged over 20 points across the last two events, consistently proving he can score at a high level. Reynolds plays with a smart pace and strong feel for the game while also showing the ability to create for others as a playmaker. He excels when attacking downhill, using his athleticism and decisiveness to pressure defenses and create quality opportunities. With the entire starting backcourt graduating at Owasso, Reynolds appears primed for a breakout senior season where he should take on a much larger offensive role.
Jasper Chaves | 6'4 | G/F | Oklahoma Chaos | Southmoore
Jasper Chaves has shown major growth in both skill and development throughout the summer and continues to evolve into a versatile matchup problem. Originally more guard-oriented, the 6’4 prospect has transitioned into a forward role while still utilizing the guard skills that made him effective earlier in his development. That blend of perimeter ability and forward play allows Chaves to impact the game in multiple ways and create mismatches offensively. He displayed his scoring ability with a 30-point performance and consistently showed confidence attacking from different spots on the floor. His continued development and versatility make him a very intriguing player heading into the upcoming season.
Kolson Smedley | 6'5 | G | Oklahoma Chaos | Guthrie
Kolson Smedley impressed with his overall feel for the game and smooth offensive ability throughout the weekend. The 6’5 guard plays with confidence, makes smart decisions, and scores with a level of ease that often makes the game look simple for him. Smedley showed the ability to impact the game in multiple areas, but one of the biggest takeaways was that he could benefit from being more aggressive offensively and demanding the ball more often. His talent level is evident, and when he looks to attack, he consistently produces. With his size, skill set, and natural scoring ability, Smedley has the tools to make a major impact moving forward and could benefit from finding the best situation possible to maximize his final high school season.
Mar'Quell Robinson | 6'3 | CG | YPG | Mustang
Mar'Quell Robinson looked like a major addition for YPG with his all-around production and competitive presence on both ends of the floor. The 6’3 combo guard handled the ball extremely well and consistently made plays as both a scorer and facilitator. Robinson had previously struggled with consistency from long range, but this weekend he confidently knocked down shots from deep and showed noticeable improvement as a perimeter shooter. Beyond the offense, he competed at a high level defensively, stayed active throughout the game, and delivered in key moments. His toughness, clutch play, and two-way impact made him one of the standout guards in attendance.
Nate Jones | 6'7 | F | YPG | Carl Albert
Nate Jones played with intensity, athleticism, and fearlessness every time he stepped on the court. The lanky 6’7 forward attacked the rim aggressively and looked ready to dunk anything around the basket, showcasing excellent hand-eye coordination on alley-oop finishes and rebounds. Jones brought a relentless mentality defensively and competed with an edge that stood out throughout the weekend. He played with toughness and treated every matchup like a battle, regardless of who was on the opposing side. His physical tools and defensive motor already make him difficult to deal with, and once he continues developing his jump shot and overall shooting mechanics, he has the potential to become an extremely tough matchup at the next level.
Drelen Davis | 6'3 | G | Team GME | Grind Prep
Drelen Davis was one of the more electric guards in the gym with his combination of shot-making, creativity, and playmaking ability. The 6’3 guard handled the ball at a high level and consistently created offense both for himself and his teammates. Davis showed deep shooting range and complete confidence pulling up from virtually anywhere on the floor, even over defenders, while still maintaining impressive efficiency. His vision and passing ability also stood out as he constantly made smart reads and generated scoring opportunities for others. With his offensive creativity and confidence, Davis consistently kept defenses on edge throughout the weekend.
Marcus Lee II | 6'0 | PG | Pro Vision | Millwood
Marcus Lee II brought toughness, leadership, and nonstop energy to the floor every game. The 6’0 point guard played with a shifty and crafty style offensively while constantly pressuring defenders with his handle and ability to create space. Defensively, Lee made a major impact with relentless ball pressure and a competitive mentality that extended the full 94 feet. He embraced the role of leader for his team and consistently competed with intensity on both ends of the floor. His effort, toughness, and defensive presence made him one of the more disruptive guards in attendance.
Brevin Walters | 6'3 | G | Team Oklahoma | Collinsville
Brevin Walters delivered one of the more complete all-around performances of the weekend while carrying a major load for Team Oklahoma. The 6’3 guard stepped up in every phase of the game, putting the team on his back offensively while also contributing as a rebounder, passer, and defender. Walters shot the ball extremely well from deep and consistently made timely plays when his team needed production. Beyond the scoring, he impacted winning with steals, assists, and activity on the glass, showcasing his versatility and willingness to do whatever was needed to help his team compete.
