Top College Basketball Recruit Cade Cunningham Will Stay with Oklahoma State

Cunningham is projected to be one of the top picks in the 2021 NBA draft

Oklahoma State University has been no stranger to the press in these past few months. Football head coach Mike Gundy was in the news originally for comments he made that some deemed insensitive to the coronavirus pandemic. Later a photo surfaced of Gundy wearing an OAN T-shirt in a time where many are protesting racial injustice. But the basketball program has also had its share of bad press with their basketball postseason ban. But the Cowboys got a break when on Monday top basketball recruit Cade Cunningham said he will still be playing for Oklahoma State this coming basketball season. SI senior writer Pat Forde has more on Cunningham.
