WATCH: Oklahoma Sooners commit starts senior season with big dunk
Oklahoma Sooners basketball wrapped up their early signing period for the 2024 class. One of those signings was three-star prospect and the No. 1 player in Oklahoma Dayton Forsythe from McCloud, Okla.
Forsythe is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound combo guard. Forsythe plays for Dale High School, and they started their season on Friday. On the first play of the game, Dale won the tip and flipped it to Forsythe.
Forsythe sized up his defender, hit him with a quick crossover, drove to the basket, and slammed it on the lurking defender.

Dale beat Preston 93-63 to start the game. Forsythe finished with 26 points in the blowout win. He’s someone who will bring versatility to the Sooners as he’s able to attack the rim but also shoot the ball well.
He most likely will be a point guard in Porter Moser’s system. Forsythe joined Kuol Atak as the only two who signed with the Sooners during the early signing period.
The next signing day period won’t be until April 17, 2024. That’s when the Sooners will put the final touches on their first SEC class. The Sooners currently have the 79th-ranked class, but if they are able to show improvement this season, it’s possible they could close out on some of the bigger targets they are in on.
As for Forsythe, it’s always important to make sure the best prospects in Oklahoma stay in the state to play college basketball. The Sooners have done just that.
