Eric Dailey Jr. Explains Why He Chose Boynton, Stillwater

At 19 years old, Eric Dailey Jr. is a world traveler.

With USA Basketball at the FIBA U19 World Cup, Dailey is in Hungary for the third time. He spent last summer in Tijuana, Mexico as part of the FIBA U18 Basketball Americas tournament. Later this summer, he’ll join Oklahoma State for a tour of Spain. But even through all his travels, Dailey picked to play his college basketball in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Dailey took a postgrad year at IMG Academy in Florida, meaning he actually graduated high school in 2022. Not having to wait for a graduation, that gave him the ability to make the journey to Stillwater earlier than the rest of OSU’s 2023 recruiting class.
