German forward Michael Rataj has committed to Oregon State, he told ESPN on Friday.
Rataj, 18, is considered one of the most promising European forwards committing to the college route. He averaged 15 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in just 22 minutes per game at the FIBA U18 European Challengers this past summer for Germany, finishing as the third-most prolific per-minute scorer and fifth in player efficiency rating (PER) at the event.
He also represented Germany at the U16 European Championship in 2019.
Rataj grew up with Bayern Munich but moved to Ratiopharm Ulm this past summer.
