STILLWATER — Unlike last year, when Oklahoma State’s Steve Lutz got a late start in recruiting transfer portal prospects, the Cowboy coach is off and running from the beginning.

The Cowboys finished 17-18 in Lutz’s first season, reaching the quarterfinals of the NIT.

Yet with nine outgoing seniors and other departures, Lutz has a busy offseason ahead as he builds the program for his second season as coach.

Here’s a look at the incoming and outgoing players on the OSU men’s basketball roster:

Connor Dow, guard​

The 6-foot-6 wing who was selected to The Oklahoman’s Super 5 coming out of Broken Arrow High School in 2023, Dow became a reliable bench player for his effort and toughness.
