South Garland Standout Commits to Oklahoma State

Oklahoma Stateโ€™s menโ€™s basketball team is adding one of the top high school players in Texas.

South Garland guard Chris Harris Jr. committed to the Cowboys on Thursday afternoon.

โ€œI feel Oklahoma State was the place for me," said Harris Jr. "They gave me the opportunity to play at the next level and I felt like they were going to use me to my full potential.โ€

Harris Jr. made his big announcement in front of family and friends at his junior high school.

โ€œI grew up here," said Harris Jr. "I played football, basketball and ran track so might as well come to my old stomping grounds and show where I'm going to college.โ€

Harris Jr. chose the Cowboys over Texas Tech and Texas A&M. He originally signed with the Aggies but was released from his National Letter of Intent after A&M fired head coach Billy Kennedy last month.

He is the 13th-ranked basketball prospect in the state of Texas for the 2019 class, according to 247Sports.com.
