Recruiting Profile: Sooners target 4-star small forward V.J. Edgecombe

Oklahoma offers four-star small forward V.J. Edgecombe out of New York.

With its class of 2023 set to touch campus this summer, Oklahoma can finally turn the page and prepare for the class of 2024. [autotag]Kaden Cooper[/autotag] and [autotag]Jacolb Cole[/autotag] make up the two-man class, and both should be able to compete for minutes immediately, considering how wide open the depth chart is in the aftermath of eight departures from the program this spring.

One target that Porter Moser and his staff have locked in on is V.J. Edgecombe, a four-star small forward from the state of New York. Edgecombe plays with the edge many have come to expect and love about hoopers from the Empire State.

The 6-foot-5 Edgecombe can guard positions 1-3, is extremely tough from his background playing football until sixth grade, and doesn’t shy away from contact while attacking the basket and using some high-level athleticism to finish at or above the rim. He mixes that in with a decent midrange game and an evergrowing three-point shot for some nice offensive results.

While Oklahoma has entered the mix, Michigan has done some nice early lifting and looks to continue building on that.
