The first evaluation period of college basketball's offseason was this past weekend, and Oklahoma State targets were all over the place.
The AAU circuit is mostly split among shoe companies. Nike has its EYBL, which had its season-opening session in Orlando. Adidas' 3SSB circuit was in Indiana, as was Under Armour's Under Armour Next.
Stats from AAU events can be a little hard to come by (it's getting better, but still not great). Here is a long list of players Oklahoma State has offered and how they did this weekend. I mostly stuck with guys on the EYBL, as that website was easiest to navigate, but there are some others sprinkled in as well.
Stars and rankings are from 247Sports Composite. I didn't get every offer, and if I do this again on the next evaluation period (April 22-24), I'll probably not do as many guys.
The order is based off my own interest in guys (guys I think OSU actually has a shot at). If you have any questions on certain guys or omissions, feel free to ask. This was incredibly time consuming.
Parker Friedrichsen
4⭐/ National Rank: 103
Height: 6-3 / Position: SG
Hometown: Bixby, Oklahoma / AAU Program: KC Run GMC (Under Armour Next)
The first commitment in OSU's class, Friedrichsen filled it up in his first three games before struggling a bit Sunday. He told PFB Boynton was in-house to watch him.
| Points | FG-FGA | Rebounds | Assists | Opponent |
| 17 | 5-11 | 3 | 2 | West Coast Elite (W, 72-69) |

| 18 | 6-14 | 6 | 3 | DC Premier (W, 74-69) |
| 5 | 2-10 | 0 | 2 | All Arkansas Red (L, 65-45) |
Brandon Garrison
4⭐/ National Rank: 95
Height: 6-9 / Position: C
Hometown: Oklahoma City / AAU Program: Team Griffin (EYBL)
When Parker Friedrichsen committed, he told me he was almost instantly recruiting this Del City big. OSU is probably in a good spot here, but Garrison also has offers from Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M and others.
| Points | FG-FGA | Rebounds | Assists | Minutes | Opponent |
| 7 | 2-5 | 5 | 0 | 29 | Georgia Stars (L, 68-56) |

| 16 | 7-13 | 12 | 5 | 26 | Nightrydas Elite (W, 64-49) |
Kaden Cooper
3⭐/ National Rank: 179
Height: 6-5 / Position: SF
Hometown: Ada, Oklahoma / AAU Program: Team Trae Young (3SSB)
Cooper has been working in silence, but he had a big weekend. Originally from Ada, Cooper moved to a prep school in Atlanta, and it is apparently working out. He grabbed a ton of headlines this weekend with his athleticism. This weekend he picked up offers from Texas, OU, Wake Forest, Kansas State, Illinois, Creighton and St. John's. OSU offered back in 2020.
| Points | FG-FGA | Rebounds | Assists | Opponent |
| 18 | 6-10 | 9 | 1 | Southeast Elite (W, 77-64) |

Jeremiah Johnson
4⭐/ National Rank: 115
Height: 6-3 / Position: PG
Hometown: Oklahoma City / AAU Program: Bradley Beal Elite (EYBL)
One of the top players in the state, Johnson had a few good games this weekend with Bradley Beal Elite. He plays a similar role to Layden Blocker for that AAU squad, and Blocker got more run this weekend. Johnson is still on the comeback from getting shot last year. Other schools involved with him are Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Arkansas and Illinois.

| 13 | 3-6 | 3 | 1 | 23 | Team Final (W, 76-67) |
Aaron Bradshaw
5⭐/ National Rank: 22
Height: 7-0 / Position: C
Hometown: Roselle, New Jersey / AAU Program: NJ Scholars (EYBL)
Bradshaw was a standout from the weekend, and he took an official visit to OSU in November. The kicker -- Kentucky offered after he played so well this weekend. He also visited LSU and has offers from UCLA, Seton Hall, Penn State, Miami and others.

| 15 | 6-8 | 5 | 0 | 32 | Indy Heat (W, 69-66) |
David Castillo
5⭐/ National Rank: 14 (2024)
Height: 6-1 / Position: CG
Hometown: Bartlesville, Oklahoma / AAU Program: Team Griffin (EYBL)
Playing up an age division, Castillo still scored in double figures in the three games he played in. This is going to be a guy OSU goes after hard to continue to try to lock down Tulsa. OSU was his second offer (behind Tulsa), but Boynton and his staff will have to fend off Kansas, Illinois, Texas and others to keep him in state.

Carey Booth
Unranked
Height: 6-9 / Position: PF
Hometown: Englewood, Colorado / AAU Program: KC Run GMC (Under Armour Next)
Booth picked up the first known OSU offer of the evaluation period and showed out alongside OSU commit Parker Friedrichsen. A stretch four, Booth is an intriguing prospect, and it's a wonder he is so under the radar. Just this weekend, he picked up offers from OSU, Iowa, Cal, Marquette, Northwestern and Wake Forest.

Trent Pierce
Unranked
Height: 6-7 / Position: SF
Hometown: Tulsa, Oklahoma / AAU Program: Team Griffin (EYBL)
With how deep the state of Oklahoma is in the 2023 class, Trent Pierce is under the radar. OSU offered in September. He also has offers from OU, Kansas State, Minnesota and others. He had a good finish to the weekend, so it'll be interesting to see how his recruitment develops over the summer.

Omaha Biliew
5⭐/ National Rank: 7
Height: 6-8 / Position: PF
Hometown: Branson, Missouri / AAU Program: MoKan Elite (EYBL)
Biliew was with the Nike Hoop Summit World Team this weekend, so he didn't play at all with MoKan. And MoKan still dominated. Biliew has been on Oklahoma State's campus more than once, so the Cowboys are believed to be in play here.

Isaiah Manning
4⭐/ National Rank: 124
Height: 6-7 / Position: PF
Hometown: Mansfield, Texas / AAU Program: Southern Assault (3SSB)
Manning plays for the same AAU program that produced Isaac Likekele and Quion Williams. He was also briefly Williams' high school teammate before Williams moved back to Arkansas. He also has offers from TCU, Texas A&M, K-State and others.

Ron Holland
5⭐/ National Rank: 14
Height: 6-8 / Position: SF
Hometown: Duncanville, Texas / AAU Program: Drive Nation (EYBL)
Holland being from the DFW area makes this an interesting guy to track. He hasn't announced an offer since OSU offered him in November, but there are surely plenty of people after him. At the beginning of the month, 247Sports' Brandon Jenkins wrote that Arkansas, Houston, Memphis, Kentucky and UCLA are the most active with him.

Kendrick De Luna
Unranked
Height: 6-9 / Position: C
Hometown: San Antonio, Texas / AAU Program: LivOn-Fleur De Lis (EYBL)
OSU was De Luna's first Division-I offer in the summer of 2020. He hasn't fully taken off since, but he has picked up offers from Kansas State, Illinois, TCU and Texas A&M over the years. He didn't get a ton of playing time this weekend.

Elijah Fisher
5⭐/ National Rank: 18
Height: 6-6 / Position: SG
Hometown: Toronto / AAU Program: Elite 6 (3SSB)
I honestly haven't heard a ton on Fisher, but 247Sports lists OSU as "warm" with him, so I thought I'd include him in the list. OSU has ties to Canada through assistant Larry Blunt, but Fisher also has offers from Kansas, Texas Tech, Florida State and others.

Kwame Evans
5⭐/ National Rank: 2
Height: 6-9 / Position: PF
Hometown: Montverde, Florida / AAU Program: Team Durant (EYBL)
Evans released a Top 5 of Kentucky, UCLA, Oregon, Oregon, Auburn and Indiana at the beginning of the month, so I don't anticipate OSU being in play here.

Scotty Middleton
4⭐/ National Rank: 51
Height: 6-6 / Position: SF
Hometown: Wichita, Kansas / AAU Program: TSF (EYBL)
OSU offered last summer, but I haven't seen a ton of heat there since. He plays at Sunrise Christian up in Wichita, so the proximity makes it an interesting track. He did, though, get a Kansas offer in February. He has also taken visits to Kansas State and Ohio State.

Wesley Yates
4⭐/ National Rank: 34
Height: 6-4 / Position: SG
Hometown: Beaumont, Texas / AAU Program: LivOn-Fleur De Lis (EYBL)
Yates stringed together a trio of solid games to close the weekend. He is from Texas, but Beaumont (east of Houston) isn't an area Boynton has brought a lot of guys in from since taking over. OSU offered about a year ago (before he blew up), but Yates has since taken visits to Baylor, Houston, Stanford, Washington, Auburn and LSU.

Amani Hansberry
3⭐/ National Rank: 140
Height: 6-7 / Position: PF
Hometown: Washington, D.C. / AAU Program: Team Durant (EYBL)
Proximity is not on OSU's side when it comes to D.C. standout Amani Hansberry. OSU offered him last April, but he recently picked up a pair of crystal ball predictions to Penn State.

Justin Edwards
5⭐/ National Rank: 16
Height: 6-7 / Position: SF
Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania / AAU Program: Team Final (EYBL)
OSU was in fairly early on Edwards. But, he has since gone national, and he is from the northeast. Kentucky seems to be going hard after him, and he also has offers from Kansas, Tennessee, UConn and the likes.

Layden Blocker
4⭐/ National Rank: 37
Height: 6-2 / Position: PG
Hometown: Maumelle, Arkansas / AAU Program: Bradley Beal Elite (EYBL)
Oklahoma State offered Blocker in July, but I haven't seen a ton as far as involvement with him since. He took officials to Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Auburn in the fall. He also has offers from Kansas, Ohio State, Arkansas, Baylor, Texas A&M and others. He was one of the standouts of the weekend.

Playing alongside Kaden Cooper, Ja'Kobe Walter raised his already high stock this weekend. He has offers from Alabama, LSU, Florida, Auburn, Oregon, UCLA, Arkansas, Texas, Kansas and others.
