STILLWATER, Okla. -- Junior college forward Anthony Brown
signed a letter of intent Tuesday to play for Oklahoma State.
The 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward averaged 21.4 points and 7.6
rebounds last season at Carl Albert State College. He could help
the Cowboys replace departing senior forward Mario Boggan, who led
the team with averages of 19.0 points and 7.6 rebounds.
"Anthony is somebody that we felt like we really needed,"
Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton said. "You look at the makeup of
our team next year and we are going to have young post players. We
felt like we needed somebody that not only was a talented player,
but somebody that would provide some experience."
Brown shot 56 percent from the field and was 17-for 39 from
3-point range last season. He also received scholarship offers from
Kansas State and Nevada.
"Anthony has got a lot of ability," Sutton said. "He's
athletic and strong, physical with a Big 12 body. He's an excellent
scorer. That was something that was really appealing to us. Not
only is he an experienced, strong, physical player, but he's also a
guy that can score points on the block."
