Oklahoma: “They’ve shown a lot of interest and have been real genuine with me. I like the coaches and they’re trying to build a new atmosphere around the basketball program.”
Oklahoma State: “I like the coaches and I like the fans, as well as the atmosphere at the games. I like the way they play. I talk to coach (David) Cason and coach (Mike) Boynton.”
Missouri: “It’s really good, I talk to the coaches a lot. I like the way they play, too. I took an official visit up there and it was really nice. I like the way the players were, they were like a family.”
Houston: “I just love the way they play. I love the defense and the intensity they play with. I also like coach (Kelvin) Sampson a lot.”
Iowa State: “I like the way they play and their coaches reach out a lot, showing a lot of interest. I like that, and I like the program and the way they develop players.”

RIVALS' REACTION
Houston, Iowa State and SMU haven’t offered Barrett yet, but they could in the near future. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have the in-state pull for the 2024 guard as well. Missouri has received his only official visit to date as well.
