The biggest AAU basketball tournaments of the year have taken place over the past few weeks, and the Cowboys’ coaching staff has taken notice of some competitors.
Oklahoma State doesn’t have a 2026 pledge in its class yet, but this is about the time those start rolling in. Here’s more info on three Class of 2026 players the Cowboys have offered over recent weeks.
Out of national power IMG Academy in Florida, Foster is a consensus Top 50 prospect in the class with 247Sports being the highest on him, listing him as the No. 39 player in the country. He’s originally from Maryland.
Listed at 6-foot-10, 200 pounds, Foster plays on Team Melo on Nike’s EYBL circuit. In six games at Peach Jam, Foster averaged 18.8 points, 8.3 rebounds and two assists a game while shooting 48% from the field and 83% from the foul line. In 20 games in EYBL play, he’s averaged 15.8 points, 7.2 boards and two assists a game.
Over the past week, OSU, Pitt, Villanova, Vanderbilt, Oklahoma and Texas A&M have offered. Those schools join Florida State, Maryland, Illinois and others that have extended offers.
A 6-foot point guard, Carlos Medlock Jr. is the No. 100 player in the class, according to 247Sports’ rankings. OSU joins the likes of Michigan, Michigan State, Washington and others that have offered.
He’s originally from Michigan but is set to play his high school senior season at Link Academy in Missouri.
Medlock plays his AAU ball with Phenom United in Adidas’ 3SSB. He averaged 21.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals a game in the 3SSB while shooting 36% from 3.
He led Wayne Memorial (Michigan) to its first state title this past season, averaging 24.5 points, six rebounds 4.6 assists and three steals a game while shooting 37% from 3, according to MaxPreps. He’s averaged 16.4 points or better in each of his three years of high school ball.
His father, Carlos Medlock Sr., played at Eastern Michigan from 2005 to 2010 and averaged 16.9 points a game as a senior before playing professionally overseas.
Perhaps no one’s stock has taken off over the past month or so like that of Jalyn Collingwood. Since July 10, he has announced offers from Oklahoma State, Arizona State, Iowa State, Texas Tech, Xavier, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Boston College, Georgetown, Pitt and Vanderbilt. His ranking hasn’t caught up yet, but Rivals considers Collingwood, a 6-foot-5 wing, as the No. 125 player in the 2026 cycle.
Out of Sidwell Friends High School in Maryland, Collingwood plays with New World in Adidas’ 3SSB league where he has averaged 10.7 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals a game this year while shooting 33% from 3.
He had a highlight reel dunk a few weeks back.
