On Wednesday morning, Cal Athletics announced that Tyson Jolly, considered to be one of the top shooting guards in the nation, signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Cal men’s basketball team.

The Oklahoma City native originally signed with Cal in April but opted to spend a year at a prep school before joining the 2016 class. Jolly is currently enrolled at the Elev8 Sports Institute in Delray Beach, Florida.

The 6-foot-4 guard was named The Oklahoman’s Big All-City Player of the Year last season as a senior at Putnam City West High School, where he averaged 20.2 points, 9.1 rebounds and three assists per game.

“I’m happy to have Tyson on board with our program after a year at prep school,” said head coach Cuonzo Martin in the news release. “He is a passionate player who is excited to be a part of what we are trying to do. He is tough, athletic and possesses a great desire to excel on the court. Tyson is a player who is willing to do whatever it takes to win, whether it is blocking a shot, getting a big rebound, scoring a big basket or making a big free throw.”

Jolly, who led Putnam City West to a 24-3 record and to the Class 6A state semifinals last spring, was a consensus top-five recruit in Oklahoma and was an all-state selection by the Oklahoma Coaches Association.
