UW Basketball Recruiting Update: Huskies Strike Out On Cunningham

5-star guard Cade Cunningham announced this afternoon that he has committed to Oklahoma State. The Huskies received his last official visit a few weeks ago and were one of his final 5 schools.

On the one hand this is an incredibly unsurprising development. Cade’s olden brother was hired as an assistant coach this year and the wink wink agreement is that he, like every other family member of a 5-star recruit ever hired as an assistant, would be able to deliver a commitment from his brother in exchange for a job. Every prospect as talented as Cade who has had a father or brother as an assistant coach at a power conference school has ended up at that school.
