East Ridge guard Vienna Murray was Minnesota’s highest ranked uncommitted senior prospect until announcing Saturday she will play college basketball at Oklahoma next year.

Murray, ranked as the No. 3 prospect in Minnesota’s 2026 class by Prep Hoops Girls, picked the Sooners after visiting Norman, Okla., last weekend.

The versatile 6-1 standout had six visits this fall, including Arizona State, Florida, Iowa, Missouri and Wisconsin.

East Ridge finished 18-9 last season, including 17-1 o win the Suburban East. Murray averaged 17.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.1 steals and 2.7 assists as a junior.

The last player to commit among the top 18 players in the state’s 2026 class, Miller’s ranked behind only Providence Academy’s Maddyn Greenway (Kentucky commit) and Crosby-Ironton’s Tori Oehrlein (Gophers).

“I kind of worked my way up,” Murray said. “I feel like some of these girls have been good for a long time and still are really good. I wasn’t always necessarily there, but over time my hard work has slowly started to work to get me where I needed to be.”
