Scout Report
The #38 ranked prospect in the nation chose to stay home, and the Longhorns couldn't be happier with their prize catch.
Background
Hailing from Austin, Texas, Bo Ogden has been a cornerstone of the powerhouse Westlake High School program throughout his prep career. Growing up in the heart of Texas basketball country, the 6-5 forward developed his skills in one of the state's most competitive high school environments. His journey through the elite AAU circuit helped establish him as one of the premier wings in his recruiting class.
Playing Style
Ogden brings an ideal combination of size, skill, and basketball IQ that makes him a perfect fit for the modern game. At 6-5, he possesses the length to defend multiple positions while showing impressive versatility on the offensive end. His ability to stretch the floor with consistent perimeter shooting opens up driving lanes, while his court vision and passing ability make him a threat to create for teammates. The main area for continued development lies in adding strength to better handle physical play at the next level.
Recruitment
Despite holding an impressive 14 Division I offers from prestigious programs like Kansas, Purdue, Tennessee, Stanford, and Virginia, Ogden ultimately chose to commit to Texas and stay close to home. His projection as a versatile wing who can contribute immediately makes him a cornerstone piece for the Longhorns' future. With his combination of skill set and high basketball IQ, he has the ceiling to develop into an impact player in the Big 12.
