4-star SF Aidan Chronister updates his recruitment talking Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Indiana, and more

Aidan Chronister is the No. 40 overall player in the 2026 On3 Industry Ranking. The 6-foot-7 wing who played his first two seasons at Bentonville (AR) Rogers High has transferred to play his junior season at Bel Aire (KS) Sunrise Christian on Nike’s EYBL Scholastic League.

“I’m a lengthy wing, a three/two,” Chronister told On3. “I can do anything on the court, whatever the coach needs. I’ve always been able to shoot it and score it, I’ve been working on my handle and getting downhill. I watch a lot of Keven Durant, and how he gets to his spots and shotmake. And Jayson Tatum and his hesi. Really, I watch a lot of taller guards, and take pieces of what they do.”

On3 was able to catch up with four-star Aidan Chronister to talk about his recruitment.

“Of the schools who have offered, I’ve taken unofficial visits to Missouri and Oklahoma,” Chronister said. “I’ve also visited Indiana and Xavier. The old Arkansas staff offered me and I’ve visited there. The new staff hasn’t offered yet, but they’re talking with my coaches a good bit.”

Chronister breaks down Missouri and Oklahoma

MISSOURI: “They have a great staff. A big takeaway I had there was their lifting program. It’s really different. They’re not up there trying to make bodybuilders but they’re trying to do like stretches and all that to get more flexible and jump higher. They emphasize athleticism. Offensively, they run a lot through their big men with a lot of off-ball cutting and stuff.

“The campus at Missouri was amazing. It was beautiful. I went there when they played against LSU, so the crowd was great and the energy there was amazing. The facilities were great, everything is up to date. The gym is really nice.”

OKLAHOMA: “Man, everything there is so nice. I really like the bowl, like everyone there is sitting right on top of you, I really like that atmosphere. It gets really loud in that place too. The coaching staff is amazing, they’re all really nice people there. I liked the facilities a lot and the school was great. The campus was flat so it was really easy to get around.

“I say they really use their guards there. They look for drives and kicks and I feel like that really helps my game a lot, to find their shooters easy shots.”

“I think Indiana might be close to offering,” Chronister said. “We’re hearing pretty regularly from the new Arkansas staff. We’ve been hearing from LSU and Iowa State, too. I want to go see both of them.”

INDIANA: “I’ve been talking with them for a while. Coach Mike Woodson is a really good coach, he preaches NBA, so that was cool to learn and talk to him when I went up there.”‘

ARKANSAS: “I really want to meet Coach Cal (John Calipari). He is an amazing coach who has developed a lot of NBA guys.”

In his words

“I’m going to try to find a coach and a staff that I have a good relationship with, that I get along with,” Chronister said. “I’ll look at the offense a program runs and what kind of plan they have for me. I know a lot of coaches can fit me into a lot of different spots with my skill set, and I can do a lot of different things with my versatility. So, I’ll look at the playstyle and make sure it’s a fit, but I don’t really have a preferred way of playing. As long as I trust the coaches and the staff, and they trust me, that will be important.”
