Oklahoma State basketball has signed Mikey Kelvin II, a 6-foot-6 wing from Queens University in Ontario. Kelvin had a strong season, averaging 10.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks, while shooting 38% from beyond the arc. His recruitment marks a significant addition, especially as his team reached the U Sports Men’s Basketball Championship three times during his tenure, including a runner-up finish. Head coach Steve Lutz praised Kelvin’s athleticism and shooting ability, highlighting his rapid development since starting basketball in high school. The Cowboys have now added nine players since Lutz took over, leaving one scholarship available for future recruitment.

By the Numbers
  • Mikey Kelvin averaged 10.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks last season.
  • He shot 38% from three-point range.
Yes, But

While Kelvin adds versatility to the lineup, his height does not address the Cowboys' noticeable lack of size, as only one player exceeds 6-foot-8 on the roster.

State of Play
  • Kelvin's signing fills an open spot on the roster but doesn’t resolve the team's size issue.
  • The Cowboys still have one scholarship left to possibly recruit another taller player before the season starts.
What's Next

With the lone remaining scholarship, OSU may seek to add a larger player to enhance their frontcourt depth, potentially during the current transfer portal cycle.

Bottom Line

Mikey Kelvin's signing shows Oklahoma State's commitment to strengthening their basketball program, but addressing their size challenge will be crucial for competitive play in the upcoming season.
