Lindy Waters to Oklahoma State: Cowboys Land 4-Star SG Prospect

Oklahoma State's backcourt will get a big boost in 2017, as 4-star prospect Lindy Waters announced Friday on Twitter that he will be joining the Cowboys. 

Here is his announcement:

According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Waters is the top prospect in the Class of 2016 out of Oklahoma. He is also the 15th-ranked shooting guard in the nation.

After graduating high school this year, he will take a postgrad year and enroll in the school in 2017, according to the Recruit Scoop's Alex Kline. 

NBC Sports recruiting analyst Scott Phillips spoke with Raphielle Johnson of College Basketball Talk about what the Cowboys are getting in Waters:

"

One of the breakout players of the July evaluation period, Waters is a high-level shooter with good size for his position. Oklahoma State is getting a capable wing shooter who can comfortably space the floor from anywhere within NBA range.

"

At 6'5", Waters also has shown the capabilities of driving to the hoop and possessing a strong aerial game, whether it's finishing down low on the offensive end or providing secondary help on defense:

As the first hard commit of 2017 for the Cowboys, he will join 2016 recruits Cameron McGriff (small forward) and Thomas Dziagwa (point guard), according to 247Sports. Oklahoma State continues to build a young core of players that will be a serious threat in the Big 12 by the time Waters arrives. 

Of the team's current 14-man roster, half of it is made up of freshmen and sophomores, who will surely gain plenty of experience to help Walters expand his game by the time he is ready to suit up for the Cowboys.
