Oklahoma State Women’s Basketball Starts Assembling 2023 Recruiting Class
The Oklahoma State Cowgirls women’s basketball team began assembling talent for its 2023-24 team as the NCAA’s early-signing period opened on Wednesday.
The Cowgirls, led by first-year coach Jacie Hoyt, are coming off a losing season under then-head coach Jim Littell. He led the Cowgirls to eight NCAA and NIT appearances in 11 years, including a 2012 NIT title.
But Oklahoma State went 9-20 last season and the program made a change to Hoyt, who was leading the program at Kansas City.
The program experienced heavy turnover due to transfer and lost its best scorer, Lauren Fields, who went to Arizona.
Before the signing period, the Cowgirls had three commitments, as Hoyt dipped into Texas for two recruits, all of which are guards. None are in ESPN’s Top 100 recruits for 2023. The Cowgirls announced the signing of guard Stailee Heard early Wednesday morning to kick off signing day. Later, the announced the signing of Mia Gailbraith.
