Brian Oliver is a 6’6 shooting guard who picked up an offer from Georgia Tech on Wednesday night. He has seen his recruitment continue to increase since arriving at powerhouse Oak Hill Academy in January. He now holds 11 offers from major Division 1 schools with many others watching his development closely.
Brian is starting to really understand the system at Oak Hill Academy and it’s showing in his last couple of games. He had a big game the other night finishing with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals in 20 minutes in a victory for Oak Hill Academy in West Virginia over Roanoke Catholic 81 to 49.
This win put Oak Hill in the championship of the Mt. State Coal Classic against Norcross, GA on Saturday afternoon.

I had a chance to talk with Brian after their 73 to 70 victory over Mt. St. Joseph’s (MD) on Sunday afternoon. I asked him a few questions about how life is going for him down at Oak Hill Academy. This was Brian’s 3rd game at Oak Hill Academy and he is still trying to learn the system and get a feel for the other players. More
