Oregon State University (OSU) is a coeducational, public research university located in Corvallis, Oregon, United States. The university offers undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees and a multitude of research opportunities. There are over 200 academic degree programs offered through the university. OSU's programs in nuclear engineering, ecology, forestry, public health, biochemistry, zoology, oceanography, food science and pharmacy are recognized nationally as top tier programs. In recent years, OSU's liberal arts programs have also grown significantly. Over 200,000 people have attended OSU since its founding. The Carnegie Foundation classifies Oregon State University as a "very high research activity" university.

Oregon State is one of the 73 land-grant universities of the United States. The school is also recognized as a sea-grant, space-grant and sun-grant institution, making it one of only two US institutions to retain all four designations and the only public university to do so (Cornell is the only other with similar designations). In addition to Oregon State's many federally designated areas of research, the university receives more funding for research, annually, than all other public higher education institutions in Oregon combined.

Jahii was tops in scoring and made the all tournament team. He has committed to Oregon State and staked his claim as one of the elite pg's on the west coast and definitely a highlight waiting to happen.....Oh wait, he's also got game outside of his handles and athletic ability, he hit 3 three pointers in a row in his 3rd game of the event. Jahii, we owed you this one!!
