The Oklahoma State Cowboys are coming off a 12-20 season a year ago, leading to the firing of Mike Boynton and subsequent hiring of Steve Lutz, who is looking to add to his roster for upcoming seasons.
The Cowboys made a splash with a big recruit as 2025 forward Ryan Crotty committed to the program on Friday.
The 6’5, 180lbs small forward out of Charlottesville is a four-star recruit who was getting a ton of interest from other programs, choosing the Cowboys over Clemson, Virginia Tech, Miami, and Butler.
Crotty officially visited Stillwater in August, then seven days later committed to the program. He was slated to visit Miami and Virginia Tech later this month and Clemson in October.

The sharpshooting wing averaged 18.5 points per game and 5.3 rebounds during his junior season at Miller School in Virginia. He played on the Nike EYBL circuit this summer and scored just shy of 13 points per game. He went one game at Peach Jam where he was a perfect 12 for 12 from the free throw line.
Oklahoma State is going to have an entirely new look with 10 new scholarships for the 2024-2025 season. The Cowboys have seven players listed as seniors, which will open up spots for others to join Crotty in Stillwater in 2025.
With this commitment, Oklahoma State is ranked 25th in the country for the 2025 class, which comes in second in the incredibly basketball-rich Big 12 conference.
