Recruiting Notebook: 2026 and 2027 Forwards Shine

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Congratulations to some of Oklahoma's top forward prospects. From first offers to continuing to expand their portfolio of college offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["572451"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687932890d3bc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It wouldn't be a live period if Prestridge didn't add to her offer list. First it was Florida Gulf Coast, then Auburn offered yesterday. The skilled wing has stacked offers of all variety over her high school career. Which her AAU portion of her career is set to wrap up this weekend in Chicago for Nike Nationals. Prestridge will have one last opportunity to impress coaches on the national stage. While she's had to play a bit out of position with CyFair, she's clearly still catching the eye of college coaches. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["578026"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687932890d43b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hall has been one of the more improved players in 2026 when it comes to adding to her on the court skills. She wrapped up her sophomore campaign as a physical battler around the rim for a veteran Edmond North. Then came the addition of a face up game and more fluid movements along the perimeter. Now she's finishing up her grassroots career as a true inside-outside threat. Which has led to an offer from Navy. Which a few years ago, the Naval Academy signed another Oklahoma prospect, Toni Papahronis. Also from Edmond North.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["396323"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687932890d493"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Okay, Alston is more of a guard than a true forward. Because even though she's tall like a forward, she's extremely skilled and a true guard. Making her a potential steal for Elon in North Carolina. They join Quinnipiac (CT) and Northern Colorado in the nationwide programs that are pursuing one of the finest players in Oklahoma.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["881182"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687932890d4e2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">While Woolsey is tucked away in the southeastern corner of Oklahoma, her high school and AAU production has always been loud. This past week, it was in state program Northeastern State that took notice and extended an offer to the rising junior. The Lady Riverhawks have done a good job of recruiting Oklahoma. But expect it to be the first of many for a prospect who plays with great tenacity as a rebounder and good feel as a post pivot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["829844"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-687932890d534"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An anchor for the defending Class 4A champions, Albert has picked up an offer from Nebraska Kearney. She's been an instant impact player since her freshman campaign for the 918 powerhouse. Plays bigger than her size thanks to her athleticism and high motor. With the D2 program from up north taking notice, expect the offers and interest level to increase. Especially as she shapes up to be even more important for LCS as they go for a repeat.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
