Moser Signs Consensus Top-65 Player Wadley
May 12, 2026 | Men's Basketball
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma head men's basketball coach Porter Moser announced the signing of consensus top-65 national high school senior Quincy Wadley to a financial aid agreement on Tuesday.
At No. 52 overall, Wadley is OU's second-highest-rated high school signee according to the 247Sports Composite since Trae Young (No. 24) in 2017 (Jeremiah Fears was rated No. 45 in 2024). Young and Fears were NBA lottery picks after one year with the Sooners.
The 6-4, 185-pound Wadley is a consensus four-star recruit in the 2026 class who is rated as the No. 43 overall player nationally by 247Sports, No. 54 by ESPN and No. 65 by Rivals.
Wadley, who is from Washington, D.C., attended Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, Va., before transferring to AZ Compass Prep in Chandler, Ariz., for his senior season. He is regarded as the No. 7 shooting guard in his class by 247Sports, No. 8 by ESPN and No. 14 by Rivals. He is also rated as the No. 2 player in Arizona by ESPN, No. 4 by 247Sports and No. 7 by Rivals.
"The things that jump out at you about Quincy are his length, his speed and his athletic ability," said Moser, who is starting his sixth year at OU. "He's a really long and active player. And he's got an edge to his mentality. That's another thing I love about him. He's also got a tremendous release on his shot. He can shoot from long distance with ease. I love his shooting ability.
"We've really tried to recruit length and mobility, which really help on defense. He's got length, mobility and a quick twitch. We played better defense the second half of the season, and we made a run. He'll help us on that side of the court, as well."
Wadley, who chose OU over LSU and Cincinnati, averaged 11.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals in 18 games as a senior in 2025-26 for AZ Compass Prep, the same program for which Fears played his final season as a high schooler.
A 2022-23 MaxPreps Freshman All-American, Wadley was the lone freshman to earn first-team All-Washington Catholic Athletic Conference honors. He averaged 15.0 points and 4.2 rebounds per contest for Bishop O'Connell that season.
Wadley joins forward Gage Mayfield as OU's two 2026 high school signees. Mayfield, the consensus No. 1 player in Alabama, is rated as the nation's No. 74 player by 247Sports, No. 76 by ESPN and No. 84 by Rivals.
