Stillwater, OK (Future150) -- In part two of my recruiting series, I examining the commit class for Oklahoma State so far.
The Cowboys have signed two players so far, and they are Future150 nationally ranked guard Jawun Evans, and big man Igor Ibaka.
Evans is one of my favorite high school point guards to watch, as he makes the game look easy by getting to the rim and creating for others. A playmaking guard that is a blur in transition as he is has tremendous speed, and can draw comparsions to current-Denver Nugget guard Ty Lawson a little bit with his game. As he develops, I would like to see him show off his jumper more which is pretty solid but needs to get better. However, right now with his ability to get to the rim and finish, there's no reason for him to settle too much for a jumpshot anyways.
Igor, who is the younger brother of Serge Ibaka, played for Northeaster Oklahoma A&M College but will not play for any school this basketball season due to being too old to play at the junior college level and being a non-qualifier for not having an associates degree yet, which is needed in order to transfer to a university.
When it comes to his game on the floor, Igor plays like his brother but not as polished. The JUCO-transfer is athletic, strong and possesses a good midrange jumper, and is a solid interior defender at the power forward spot.
The 2015 class for coach Travis Ford is not very strong or deep right now, but signing Evans is a big-time get, and it gives them a mid-season passing grade.
Grade: C
