Oklahoma State Cowgirl basketball has lost eight players to the transfer portal, leaving them with only one returning starter. However, the team has already started rebuilding by signing Fort Hays State guard Talexa Weeter, who was named the 2025-26 Division II National Player of the Year after averaging 27.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

Why it matters

The Cowgirls had a successful 2025-26 season, finishing fourth in the Big 12 and making the NCAA Tournament, but now face a major roster overhaul. Signing Weeter, an elite Division II player, is a strong first step in replenishing their lineup and building towards another postseason run.

The details

Weeter is an explosive offensive player who shot 51.5% from the field and 39.6% from 3-point range last season. In addition to her scoring prowess, she also contributed 8.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game. Her addition to the Cowgirls' roster is a significant boost as they look to replace the production of the eight players who have entered the transfer portal.

• Cowgirl basketball lost eight players to the transfer portal over the past week.
• Oklahoma State finished the 2025-26 season 24-10 and made the NCAA Tournament.

What’s next

Oklahoma State still has a good amount of time before it has to step on the hardwood once again, and hopefully, it is ready when that time comes. Weeter will likely be a key piece in the Cowgirls' roster next year, and hopefully Hoyt can find many more from now until next season.
