With ten\u00a0returning\u00a0and the addition of\u00a0these four young men, we have strengthened our interior while also adding depth to the perimeter.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"kayden
\n“Kayden is a strong versatile forward that is multifaceted.\u00a0 He can score the ball facing the basket and by simply posting up. He is very good using both hands around the basket and\u00a0has range to the 3-pt line. He is an outstanding rebounder of the basketball and a good passer as well.\u00a0 Kayden is physical and tough.\u00a0 Most importantly, he is a good teammate that competes, cares about winning, and understands the importance of relationships and community.”<\/p>\n

\"Ty
\n“Ty is an explosive guard that can really get on a roll and score the basketball. He has the ability to guard the ball as well as run a team or play off the ball.\u00a0 He was coached by Hall of Fame coach Bill Muse at Connors State and also won a high school state championship for one of the most storied high school programs in the state at Tulsa Memorial.\u00a0 I look forward to working with Ty.”<\/p>\n

\"kennedy
\n“Walker is going to surprise people. He can really get to the paint and has excellent finishing shots around the basket.\u00a0 Walker is a good three point shooter and a tough kid, and most importantly Walker is a winner. He was a huge part of a state championship team and has been coached by a very good coach in Derrick Bull.\u00a0 Walker is a good person and will be an outstanding teammate.”<\/p>\n

\"harris
\n“I am really looking forward to working with Landon.\u00a0 He is a tough, hard playing young man.\u00a0 He was coached at a high level by Jason Tocabens at Woodland Christian and his upside is huge. Landon is already a good player that will improve rapidly.\u00a0 He’s a tough kid, a good teammate, and will be a huge asset to Bulldog Basketball and SWOSU.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Story Links WEATHERFORD \u2013 SWOSU Men’s Basketball has announced four new signings who have joined the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":48359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-48358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/48359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
