- Nestled in the tiny town of Mouth of Wilson, Virginia lies the most prestigious high school basketball program in America: Oak Hill Academy. Oak Hill has produced over 45 NBA players, including Carmelo Anthony, Kevin Durant, Rajon Rondo, Rod Strickland, Cam Thomas, Stephen Jackson and Brandon Jennings.
This past March, Stephen Jackson and Brandon Jennings were inducted into the Oak Hill Academy Hall of Fame. We followed along on their historic day and tried to crack the code to what exactly makes Oak Hill an NBA factory.

Man this aint no regular high school where these kids grew up. This institution is dam near like a university.
Say it again slim
Glad Jennings is getting some recognition. He was one of the faces of modern HS media coverage.
Top hs players all time
Class of ‘03 🤙 Coach Smith was cool af. That place changed my life, forever grateful to Oak Hill.
Did you play with Melo?
@@oaklandsoldier8520 Only in pick up games lol. I wasn’t on the Gold team but I did hoop on the lower squad. We had a couple classes though.
@@Allwayzworkin was Rondo or Ty Lawson there when you were a senior?
Yeah not EVERYONE at OHA played ball, and def not Gold team. I was class of 09, went in 06, man that was a wild time
@@someguy1825 that's what's up
lol "tiny" Oak Hill was the IMG before IMG, they just focused on Basketball.
IMG originally opened as a tennis academy only
B Jennings was a phenom. His skill level for his size and age was unmatched
Except being a competitor.
Brandon was insane at OHA. Watched him drop I think 62 or something on a random Thursday one time. Had a couple classes with him my junior year, his senior year. I miss that place man
Much respect to Oak Hill. Best ever maybe in 21st century. Before that Dunbar High School Baltimore, MD is the best ever.
It’s a different level of development and focus when you’re not playing for the gram and the outside world. Phenomenal speeches by Steven & Brandon👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Also peeped Quin Cook in the building 👀 Oak Hill def produced some legends.
I’m so happy for Bj dawg. He deserved that shit‼️
This was dope! Congratulations to both of you
The high school in Baltimore that Mugsey went too All time would take Oak Hill and the school in da Chi Simeon
Simeon Chicago dawgs
This was dope and so genuine
Why they didn’t mention Jerry Stackhouse he really put the school on the map
Time for All the Smoke x Gil’s arena to collab 🔥🔥
Agreed but the Internet not readyyy 😂😂🤌🏽
I don’t think Stephen Jax and Gil fool with one another, or are they cool now?
@@SacredKlown-un7pz they are grown men…not lil girls.
@@TJAvant95 yeah?
I live in this area it is gorgeous scenery over there but there ain't shit else but that school 😅
They definitely forgot how good Jerry Stackhouse was at Oak Hill!!!

Thats big time to produce that many from 1 high school 🎉
They recruit the very best players in the country and give them free tuition and they all go cause every scout worth their weight in shit is there every game
Congratulations to you all !! 🙏
Class of ‘91 and proud ❤ Warrior forever!
Congratulations 🍾 👏🏽🫶🏽💪🏽🦾
A 30 for 30 needs to be done on oak hill
Facts
Love this. Make this a movie 🎥
lol when I was there a few of us said we should make a movie of the place. The basketball stuff for sure, but we could’ve just made a boarding school movie too. Class of 09
@@someguy1825 How was it going there? Was it a good time?
Yall beat a college team! That’s crazy I never heard of that. We gotta get a story of that!
Couple dudes from my area went to Oak Hill...Alex Legion and Glenn Bryant.
Michigan guy? Lol I was at OHA with Alex and Glenn. Haven’t talked to Alex in forever but I’ll still be joking with Glenn on Facebook 😂
Yep, I'm from Southeastern Michigan. Saw Alex hoop as a kid. He was better than everyone by a mile. Went to Eastern Michigan while Glenn was there and knew his brother pretty well.
Is it, tho? They get to recruit the best players in the country. That's not the same as a regular high school.
What is it
@@keithrochester4671they’re a prep school. High schools are located in neighborhoods and do not have dorms
And they play the same kinda schools they don't compete for state championships they played State champs from 2013 and won by 58
@@jonedwards677 that what I thought
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
First heard of Oak hill VA back in late 70's guy named anthony 'Cosell Brown went their for a short time he was the number 2 guard behind isaiah Thomas in country in his Jr year class of 1980 from Alexander Hamilton high school from Brooklyn N.Y.
rose was B Jen's nightmare
Happy for BJ! But man all those jerseys on the wall damn...
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Now you got prolific prep and Monteverde taking over thou
Jennings was the trailblazer for going overseas or taking another route to get to the league other than college!! Salute for that bc that wasn’t the traditional way of doing things back then!!
goes to show you how much B.Jennings wanted no smoke w Drose. lol
Ayo its in the water
Whats in the water ? Oak Hill recruits top players from all over the nation none of them are local talent
I wonder where they get their bud from at oak hill
Checkout Dematha H.S.
Mike Jones Dematha (MD) might have something to say
This is NBA Job Corps
How many are going to the hall of fame cuz it gotta be a couple out of there
Lot of jerseys on the wall
New Lane ⚠️ All The Smoke Documentaries & Movies!!!
Stephen Got The Starting 5 Correct 🤷🏿♂️!! Rod Strickland At The 1...BJ At The 2...Jack At The 3...Melo 4...Josh 5
Where's Jerry stack house?
Definitely had some mfs come through
Technically yes but dudes were from all over the country.
Thank you
OHHHHH!!!!! There he is!!!! Officer jackson...looking good in that correctional officer uniform..."hey yo c.o.!!!! crack my gate!!!"
The greatest High School Team in the nation (National Champions), 1953: The Western High Tigers, Paris Kentucky. All Black High School.
Stak ain’t never play in Cleveland
To me the best high school player was benji from Chicago 💯💯💯
I respect Oak Hill..but we can't act like they were just some regular school. They are a boarding school that focused specifically on basketball. They should be great, lol. A glorified AAU program. But they did open the door for the current era.
🔥 🔥 but never played those real VA boyz
I’m from VA. Oak Hill will beat any public high school from VA by 20...
Since when Jennings retired from nba
Virginia don't be getting the credit it deserves but it okay
It’s cause none of them nuggas was really from VA
I’m not sure if they’re the greatest program ever cause they just grab the best juniors and seniors in the country every year
this is country as fxxx, i lived in Virginia almost my whole life didn't here about oak hill untill 2002 after i left and Joined the Navy i get it great school but nobody goes there accept to watch oak hill, im from portsmouth we normally hit the seven cities or go out of state i never been to oak hill but i been other places i might catch a game
Detroit Pershing
Detroit Southwestern
MCCLYMONDS HIGH SCHOOL OAKLAND,CALIFORNIA BILL,NATE,ETC GET IT RIGHT
Only 45? 🤔
U look at those players that went there Brandon n Jack wouldn’t be in all time starting 5
Montverde creeping on this program though
Nah Oak Hill ran it for like 3 decades…Damn near a national schedule for 2 of them…
Stephen, meanwhile you're still checking in at oblock.
🌽
Some ppl look for negayive things to say about Everything.
Congrats but Stephen Jackson you really need to stay off IG leave folks alone because they have a difference opinion.
Glory chasing now, they weren’t even good enough to go to nationals this year
They fell off, everybody goes to montverde now
@@sdot266 well Steve retired so that was probably why
Too bad STEPHEN JACKSON skipped all of his English classes at Oak Hill.
They very well maybe the "best program" but not best High School teams ever no that belongs to Houston 2001 Willoridge, 2009-2010 Jack Yates not even close
Wish they would have stayed at they original highschool.
Why???
Sierra canyon,IMG,or Monteverde can contend with oak hill
Not all time. Those are just in recent times. Got some real nice names from Monteverde but a lot of guys that didn’t live up to it. Ben Simmons, DLo, RJ Barrett.
Oak Hill got Hall of Famers
Oak Hill been doing it for 40 years.
Oak hill been doing it for 40 years bro with hall of famers please stop being prisoners of the moment
None of them would’ve beaten the great public league schools in 80’.
Praise your white saviour
GLAD YOU LIVED IN VIRGINIA 🇺🇸 STEPHEN JACKSON MY HERO 🦸♂️ MUST BE DISCIPLINED AT THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA🏛️🇺🇸 TERRITORY
Focusing on the race baiter, . Stephen Jackson was a mistake. Can't watch anything with that fool who works to divide people just on skin color. No good, judge people by character, not race like stephen! He needs to do better
Then why are u here hater? Just to hate find something more positive to do with your energy clown.
How many convicts came from this school?
