Ah yes, if it’s not a global pandemic that keeps the best high school basketball player in the country from playing at Oklahoma State this season, it could be the NCAA. Of course.
The first question on everyone’s mind following the news that Oklahoma State is banned by the NCAA from postseason play for the 2020-21 school year is, “What does this mean for Cade Cunningham?”
Though this punishment always existed on the periphery, nobody really expected anything this harsh (I actually forgot about its existence multiple times). However, I would be surprised if a contingency plan wasn’t at least considered in Camp Cunningham or discussed when he signed with OSU last fall.
