Oklahoma favored to land consensus four-star center Kai Rogers

Porter Moser and the Oklahoma Sooners had one heck of a summer. The Sooners landed not one but two recruits. Ultra-talented wing playmaker Alec Blair was the first to come aboard as the top 50 prospect pledged to the Sooners in July. Hailing from Denmark with a skill set that closely resembles many modern big men, Andreas Holst committed in mid-September.

As the calendar turns to October, recruiting for the class of 2025 is heating up rapidly. Senior seasons are approaching and the early signing period is right around the corner.

Oklahoma is not done for 2025, and on Sunday, that was made abundantly clear when national recruiting analyst Jamie Shaw of On3 dropped a prediction favoring the Sooners to land 6-foot-10 big man Kai Rogers.

Rogers is a bit of a throwback player in today’s modern basketball world as he wins and dominates from the post. He’s not a stretch four or a stretch five but a true center who scores frequently with his back to the basket, using soft hands and hooks to score over defenders. He’s also unafraid of turning and facing defenses to attack them off the dribble. He can afford to continue to get stronger and play with more intensity more consistently. He’s got a high ceiling that can be reached with more experience and finding a collegiate team with which he can grow.

Oklahoma hosted Rogers and his family on an official visit over the summer, and the Sooners have made him a priority ever since. The only competition Oklahoma has to worry about is former Big 12 foe Iowa State. The Cyclones have a history of landing basketball talent from Wisconsin.

Oklahoma nor Iowa State won’t have to wait much longer as the consensus four-star recruit is set to announce his decision on November 6. As it stands right now, the Sooners are gaining momentum. Landing Rogers would vault the Sooners from the No. 44 recruiting class in the country into the top 20 at No. 16.
