With the official and long-expected announcement that Cowboys guard Bryce Williams will return to Stillwater for another year of eligibility for the 2021-2022 season, Oklahoma State basketball fans can forgiven for experiencing even more optimism about next year.
Williams will remain with a stacked OSU backcourt this fall that features returning team leader Isaac Likelele, much ballyhooed Kansas transfer Bryce Thompson, and an emerging star in Avery Anderson.
