Stanford basketball continued the Pac-12’s busy week of recruiting, landing 2017 power forward Oscar Da Silva on Wednesday afternoon.
#Stanford has landed a commitment from 6’9” German power forward Oscar Da Silva

Da Silva plays for Germany’s Schwabing Basketball Team located in Munich. Munich is 5,872 miles from Palo Alto.
There really isn’t a ton of information out there on the recruiting sites about Da Silva, however, there’s a video below of some of his highlights from an international tournament earlier this year. He does a lot of things well on both sides of the ball. If that carries over to the American game, Stanford may very well have found a hidden gem.
The Cardinal have two scholarships remaining for 2017-18.
