On Thursday, Westlake High School prospect Bo Ogden cut down the list of schools he was considering to six. The programs include coach Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks, the Gonzaga Bulldogs, Virginia Cavaliers, Tennessee Volunteers, Purdue Boilermakers and the Texas Longhorns, where his father, Chris Ogden, is the general manager.In an interview with 247Sports after making his announcement, the four-star Ogden revealed why he chose the schools and what he was looking for at his ultimate destination."It's coming down to that time," Bo Ogden said. "I thought it was best to narrow it down and finalize the last six that I've been focusing on. I wanted to focus on my recruitment, and right now is the best time.“I want somewhere where I have a really good fit, somewhere I can play early. I want to get that development. And somewhere I have a really good connection with the coaching staff. I would say that fit and play style is definitely like my number one of what matters.”Ogden, who is the No. 5-ranked prospect in Texas and the No. 45 overall player in the country in the class of 2026 according to 247Sports, visited coach Matt Painter's Purdue in February and has visits to Gonzaga, Virginia and Texas scheduled for September.
