Waters reflects on former teammates’ leadership in new role j e r e my ko lok Asst. Sports Editor @ je r emyko lok

When Lindy Waters arrived as a freshman at Oklahoma State, he set one goal for himself: he wanted to break into the Cowboys’ starting lineup.

But he accomplished that goal a lot more quickly than he could’ve predicted.

Waters started 12 games for the Cowboy basketball team in 2016-17 as a freshman.

“I had expectations to come out and play, but to start was a whole different goal of mine,” Waters said. “I wasn’t expecting it.”

Now, Waters, a junior, prepares for his third season of collegiate basketball as one of the most experienced members on a young team, and because of that, OSU coach Mike Boynton has placed much more responsibility on his shoulders.

Boynton named Waters, junior sharpshooter Thomas Dziagwa and junior big man Cameron McGriff the three OSU team captains in preparation for the quicklyapproaching season.

“It means a lot, especially as someone who has pride,” Waters said.

“But that doesn’t change anything on the court. I’m still gonna work as hard as I did before.

I’m still gonna lead to the best of my ability. With Thomas and Cam on my side, sometimes they can take the

weight off my shoulders. And I can do that for them, too.

“When I came in June, I didn’t realize our team was going to be super-young this year. We have a lot of talent, but we have to take over as leaders.”

When Waters realized he needed to blossom into an unfamiliar role, he said he started thinking back to some of the leaders on the team from when he was a freshman still learning the ropes. He said the biggest challenge he has faced since his freshman season was learning how to grow up and mature, and he gives credit to some of his former teammates for guiding him early in his career.

“It does make you look back and be like, ‘Who did I look to? Who helped me out the most?

What did they do, and what did they not do that

I could work on?,’” Waters said. “I think about it every day.”

Waters named three former OSU basketball players as the most influential leaders who helped him as a young player: Phil Forte III, Leyton Hammonds and Jeffrey Carroll.

“Those older guys, watching them go through it, they made it look so easy,” Waters said. “Every time I started to go up or down, they’d try to keep me level. And now I’m trying to do that for our freshmen.”

Waters regularly talks to Forte, a graduate assistant for former OSU coach Travis Ford at St. Louis, and Hammonds, who plays professionally for BC Nokia in Finland. devin lawrence wilber/O’COLLY But he played with Carroll Oklahoma State’s Lindy Waters dribbles past two Texas Tech defenders as the Cowboys for two years rather than just take on the Red Raiders in Gallagher-Iba Arena. one, and they talk or text those types of things,” Waters carried themselves as leaders the grind during a college each other nearly every day, said. “I just ask him about his has helped Waters, he said. basketball season. often setting up appointments personal life, like how is he But he doesn’t want to focus “Sometimes (the younger to play video games online doing, what’s he working on. on only former players.

Dedicated Dziagwa: Summer challenge reveals work ethic h a llie hart Sports Editor @ ha lliehart

Thomas Dziagwa needed no further motivation.

It was an ordinary summer day in Stillwater.

The number of Oklahoma State University students in town had dwindled, and other than working on assignments for summer classes, Dziagwa didn’t have much to do.

But he had a mission.

He stood on the basketball court and lobbed up a shot. The ball swished through the net.

That day, Dziagwa tallied more than 1,000 makes.

His coach’s words lingered in his mind, giving him a reason to con-

tinue.

Mike Boynton, the OSU men’s basketball coach, presented a challenge to Dziagwa at the start of June. Dziagwa, a junior guard from Temple Terrace, Florida, had to make 25,000 shots during the summer.

Boynton wanted to find a way to help Dziagwa improve, he said. He didn’t need to worry about boosting his self-esteem. Boynton once joked that Dziagwa’s picture is in the dictionary next to the word “swagger.”

He didn’t have to encourage Dziagwa to speak up.

In practice, Dziagwa’s dynamic voice often rings out above his teammates’.

He brings fire to the court, keeping the Cowboys motivated as he yells not angrily but enthusiastically.

Dziagwa already exuded swagger, so Boynton decided to build his focus skills.

Dziagwa will have increased responsibilities this season. He is one of three junior captains on a roster filled with newcomers. As the freshmen adjust to playing in a college atmosphere with Devin Lawrence Wilber/O’Colly rowdy fans Oklahoma State guard Thomas Dziagwa dribbles past an Oral Roberts defender as the Cowboys take on ORU in GIA. and fierce competirecognizes that Dziagwa ration for their European Maurice Calloo, a freshand now is an opportunity tors, Boyn- has to act as a steady vettour.

McGriff brings poise, maturity to young Cowboy squad h allie hart Sports Editor @ halliehart

Cameron McGriff turned right, secured the ball in his hands and soared up to the left side of the hoop, where he threw down a rim-shaking dunk.

The shot didn’t mark a turning point in an Oklahoma State men’s basketball game or leave a crowd awestruck. McGriff made the slam dunk on a July evening in the practice gym at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The Cowboys were preparing for their European tour. Although a few media members and spectators stood along the edges of the court, no electric ambience of a rowdy student section sur-

that.

During the practice, Mike Boynton, OSU’s coach, urged his young players to watch McGriff as an example.

McGriff, a junior forward from Grand Prairie, Texas, stands tall. He is 6-foot-7, but his upright, stately posture accentuates his height. He has new responsibilities as an experienced leader of a youthful OSU squad with no four-year seniors, but his role as a captain isn’t forcing him to change his personality.

Boynton said McGriff showed natural leadership qualities as a freshman.

McGriff

ounded him.

His dunk added no points for OSU, but in a way, it counted.

Yor Anei and Kentrevious Jones, Cowboy freshmen, waited to shoot as they saw McGriff speedily grab the ball and jump to the basket. McGriff isn’t the loudest player in an OSU jersey. As Thomas Dziagwa, one of his fellow team captains, brings explosive, passionate leadership to the court, McGriff provides quiet confidence.

The dunk demonstrated WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018

Oklahoma State’s Cameron McGriff goes up for a dunk as the Cowboys take on OU in the Big12 basketball tournament in Kansas City, Missouri.

played in 32 games during his first year at OSU, averaging 3.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.

He also showcased his dunking ability early. A McGriff transition dunk in a victory against Georgetown landed the No. 1 spot in the SportsCenter Top 10 on Nov. 23, 2016.

During McGriff’s sophomore season, he averaged 8.4 points per game and 5.1 rebounds per game as he secured a regular starting role.

Now, McGriff is a veteran on a Cowboy team projected to finish last in the Big 12, according to the preseason poll.

McGriff doesn’t let the early rankings intimidate or discourage him.

“It drives me every day,” McGriff said.

“That’s one thing that I enjoy a lot is proving people wrong.”

McGriff displayed his composure and resilience when OSU stormed past Ouachita Baptist 80-59 in an exhibition game Sunday at Gallagher-Iba Arena. He started the game shooting 0-for-4 with four turnovers. A first-half dunk didn’t count because he was intentionally fouled, and though he then added points from free throws, the turnovers persisted.

In the second half, McGriff stole the ball and made a thunderous dunk, bringing a different spark to the court. Although the game didn’t count for the Cowboys’ record,

OCOLLY.COM

he tallied his first career double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

McGriff, often stoic and calm, cracked a joke in the postgame presser when he discussed reasons for his renewed energy in the second half.

“I fell on the sideline,” McGriff said. “One play, I don’t know if you guys remember it, a bunch of coffee fell on me. I think that’s what kind of woke me up, I got a little bit of coffee. That’s all.”

Boynton recognized the pressure that rests on McGriff’s shoulders.

“This seems to be probably the most expectations for him for our team,” Boynton said.

“Sometimes it looks a little different for guys.

They feel like they have

to do something out of the ordinary. Really, he has got to play the game he has played all the time, which is tremendous effort, great energy, get a couple deflections, get to the glass. His offense will come.”

As McGriff changed his game Sunday, pride filled his coach. Like many times before, Boynton saw McGriff’s poise and leadership in action.

“That’s a sign of maturity, a sign of growth,” Boynton said. “And a sign that he understands it’s not just shot-making that makes him valuable to our team.”

OSU Wrestling: Cowboys look to bounce back after down year WAD E HAUG EN copy chief @wade_hau gen

Finishing the season with four NCAA AllAmericans is an accomplishment for most wrestling programs.

But expectations are different for the winningest program in the history of the sport.

After the 2018 NCAA Tournament, Oklahoma State wrestling coach John Smith said going into the season, he had predicted the Cowboys might face struggles.

For the first time since 2009, OSU didn’t have a wrestler place in the semifinal round of the national tournament.

“In the end, we just go back, go to work and move forward,” Smith said.

The Cowboys have done that and enter the 2018-19 season with high expectations.

OSU is fourth in the preseason National Wrestling Coaches Association Division I wrestling poll.

Preparation for the season has included a plethora of hard practices, something Smith said the Cowboys are able to endure this season because of the team he has.

“It always goes good in preseason,” Smith said. “You always look good. You find out a little more when you get out and compete.

It’s gone well for the most part, probably

worked a little harder than we have in the past just based on having a little older group.”

Smith said he expects to have seven upperclassmen in the starting lineup with a few underclassmen mixed in, including Daton Fix, who is slotted to start at 133 pounds. Fix redshirted during the past season and has palpable buzz surrounding him entering this year. He went 168-0 in his high school career and won the 2017 Junior World Championships.

As the season is set to begin, Smith said most of the lineup isn’t finalized.

“It may not deviate far from where it is when we start … or it could be way off from that,” Smith said. “We have some options. This first semester for me is to find out what our best team is going into the second semester.”

Although the bottom half of the lineup is uncertain, the top half is set.

Nick Piccininni will start at 125 and Fix at 133. At 141, Smith said it’ll be Kaid Brock and Kaden Gfeller.

The Cowboys’ talent at the lower weights is a coach’s best friend but can also serve as a balancing act.

“I kind of pull back a little bit on wrestling them because they really go at a high pace, and it makes me about half nervous that some-

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2018

body’s gonna get hurt,” Smith said. “I would say it’s competitive. I watched Daton Fix and Kaid Brock wrestle Saturday before the game, and I was kind of ready for practice to be over.

Somebody’s gonna get hurt here. It was kind of exciting to watch.

It was good to see, but it kind of makes you nervous.”

A big question mark for OSU is Preston Weigel at 197. Weigel had a disappointing year during the past season while struggling with injuries but is looking to return to form in his redshirt t.c. brewster/O’COLLY senior season.

Legendary coach John Smith watches on as his Cowboys take on the Iowa State Cyclones.

“He looks healthy right now,” Smith said.

Cowgirls adapting to change heading into season GRan t r am ir ez staff reporter @ G r an t_R a m ir ez 3

Many new Oklahoma State women’s basketball players are running up and down Eddie Sutton Court.

OSU enters a transition year after losing four of its top-five scorers from last season, including seniors Kaylee Jensen, Loryn Goodwin and Mandy Coleman.

The loss of Jensen and Coleman down low will force the Cowgirls to change their style of play from past seasons. The new system will place more emphasis on guards and aim to push the pace.

OSU coach Jim Littell said his team is coming along, but will take time for

Coming off a strong freshman season, guard Braxtin Miller, who was voted to the All-Big 12 Preseason team, will receive increased opportunities. She was the third offensive option in her first year, but she will now be a focal point of the offense.

Along with Miller, prized transfer Vivian Gray will take on a large role.

Gray, a former five-star recruit, transferred to OSU after playing one season at Fort Lewis College in Colorado.

She led the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference in scoring as a freshman.

“Vivian Gray is a special talent,” Littell said. “She can rise and shoot the basketball in traffic, has a lot of athlet-

the Cowgirls to get fully comfortable in the offense.

“We had Kaylee Jensen that we could always bail out with the last three years,” Littell said. “We’re going to have to develop our post players this year. Until we do that, we’re probably going to have to run some offense that is more guardoriented.”

Although it will require a team effort to replace lost offensive production, Littell and the Cowgirls will count on a few key players to shoulder the load.

icism, understands the game.

“She’s going to be a player that our fans are going to enjoy watching for the next three years.”

Miller and Gray will be the primary scoring options for the Cowgirls, as they are more than capable of creating shots.

Although the two sophomores have been teammates for a short time, they are already establishing a connection. Miller said she has been impressed with Gray’s skill set during preseason work.

“We have a lot of chemistry off the court,” Miller said.

“We’ll keep figuring it out on (the court), but I think Vivian and I already play really well together. We complement devin lawrence wilber/O’COLLY each other really well.”
