NCAA Basketball Recruiting: Analyzing potential contenders for 4-star Rakease Passmore
Missouri Tigers
The Tigers not only already have three commits in the 2024 class but one of them is a top-100 small forward in Marcus Allen. But he’s capable of playing the four-spot so Missouri can still target Passmore. Plus, with John Tonje only being around for one season, there’s plenty of room available for another small forward to join.
Oklahoma Sooners
The Sooners have two commits in the 2024 class but need a wing to cap things off. Incoming transfers Rivaldo Soares and Le’Tre Darthard will only be around one year, while freshman Jacolb Cole is unproven. Since Oklahoma is moving to the SEC after this season, they’ll need a premier athlete like Passmore to compete.
Oregon Ducks
The Ducks have a pair of five-star freshmen forwards joining in KJ Evans and Mookie Cook. Assuming that both are only around for one season, that opens things up for someone like Passmore to come in and have a big impact. The only other wing on the roster is Jadrian Tracey, a JUCO transfer that’s unproven at the D-I level.
Among the options reported, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and LSU stands out when it comes to the roster shape for Passmore. All three are SEC programs so could it mean that the four-star forward is destined to end up there?
