Cunningham could have spurned the folks in Stillwater after the NCAA placed a postseason ban on the program. Even without the opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament, Cunningham is remaining loyal to Mike Boynton’s program.

The decision to stay at Oklahoma State is somewhat of a shock. He could have played professionally or attended the school that finished second in his recruiting sweepstakes, Kentucky.
