Oregon State Basketball Lands Top Recruit in Oregon Zach Reichle

Zach Reichle announced his commitment today via a retweeted ESPN tweet that he will be taking his talents down I-5 to Corvallis. The Wilsonville Senior joins an early contender for the best Pac-12 recruiting class in 2017 alongside 4-star recruit, Ethan Thompson.

Reichle, at 6’4” and 200 pounds, will likely contribute minutes at the shooting guard position next year. Touted as the highest rated recruit in Oregon, his 3-point shooting and passing ability have made him a highly sought after player for programs such as UC-Irvine, Princeton, and Stanford.

Per an interview today with OregonLive, his decision came down to a choice between UC-Irvine and Oregon State:

Zach begins his senior season at Wilsonville on December 2^nd against Silverton High School. Building the Dam will continue to highlight his upcoming season as anticipation builds for his arrival at OSU.

This is the third year in a row that Wayne Tinkle and his program have recruited the top talent in the Pacific Northwest to OSU: Drew Eubanks, JaQuari McLaughlin, and now Zach Reichle. Creating a regional pipeline to the Mid-Valley has become an early hallmark of the Tinkle era. As it does so often in Oregon, it appears to be Wayning. Wayning Men.
