    S2 E2: Oklahoma Hooper to Bearcats: Bryson Buckingham’s Path to Cincinnati | ROK Podcast

    🎥 Recorded at  @DicksSportingGoods  House of Sport in North OKC On this episode of the ROK Podcast with Coach Love, I sit down with Bryson Buckingham to talk hoops, hunger, and what it looks like when talent actually puts in the work. Bryson reflects on being part of two Edmond North state championship teams, and explains that even though he was injured during those title runs, he was still part of the team and the program. He also breaks down his stellar career at Casady High School, where he earned MaxPreps Player of the Year honors along with All-State and All-City recognition. After a one-year stop at Link Academy, Bryson kept leveling up and earned a scholarship to the University of Cincinnati, where he’s currently on the roster. More than stats and awards, Bryson talks about staying blessed but focused. He recognizes that not every athlete gets real opportunities, so when you do, you take advantage, keep grinding, and don’t quit. He also shares memories of playing in my Super16 All-Star Games as a middle school athlete, an event built to showcase Oklahoma’s top 7th and 8th grade players and give them early exposure to high-level competition.

    S2 E1: - From OSU Sharpshooter to Coaching Legacy - Randy Rutherford | ROK Podcast

    🏀 On this episode of the ROK Podcast, we sit down with Randy Rutherford, one of Oklahoma’s most accomplished basketball figures and a true student of the game. Rutherford made his name at Broken Bow High School, where he was a 4× State Champion in track and the 1990 OBCA Basketball Player of the Year. In college, he carried that momentum to Oklahoma State Cowboys, becoming one of the top shooters in program history and helping lead the Cowboys to the 1995 Final Four. After college, Randy took his game overseas, starring in Australia’s NBL, where he earned All-NBL honors and captured an NBL scoring title, cementing his reputation as an elite scorer on the international stage. His basketball journey didn’t stop there. Rutherford transitioned seamlessly into coaching, working alongside his legendary college coach and mentor Eddie Sutton, with additional coaching stops at the college and high school levels. Today, he continues to pour into the next generation as the head coach at Claremore High School. In this conversation, we dive deep into his upbringing in Broken Bow, his development under Eddie Sutton at Oklahoma State, the 1995 Final Four run, life and success overseas, and the lessons that shaped him as both a player and coach. It’s a straight-through look at winning, longevity, and basketball done the right way. This episode is packed with Oklahoma basketball history, elite shooting insight, and coaching wisdom that still applies today. 🎧 Subscribe to the ROK Podcast 👍 Like, comment, and share to help us continue telling Oklahoma sports stories the right way.

    From Owasso to OSU: Jalen Montonati’s Epic Journey | ROK Podcast

    Could Jalen Montonati become the first Oklahoma player ever to win Gatorade Player of the Year three straight years? The chase for history is real — and now he’s officially committed to continue his journey with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Already a 2X Oklahoma Gatorade POY, 2X MaxPreps POY, Oklahoma Super 5 POY, 6A State Champion, and U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist, Jalen’s résumé is stacked with accolades that few high school athletes could dream of.
