Cunningham Rated Top Point Guard Recruit In 247Sports History

STILLWATER - Oklahoma State's signing class, which is currently ranked No. 4 nationally by Rivals, is anchored by Cade Cunningham, who was named the Naismith National High School Player of the Year and is the nation's top recruit according to ESPN, 247Sports, Rivals, USA Today, MaxPreps and Ball Is Life.

With Cunnhingham at the helm, Montverde Academy went 25-0 last season with seven national top-10 wins and an average margin of victory of 39 points. In fact, Cunningham played just 22 minutes per game (averaged 13.9 ppg, 6.4 apg, 4.2 rpg) because his team was that dominant.

Cunningham is one of just 12 players to ever earn a grade of 0.9999 or better in the history of 247Sports (since 2003), and he is the highest rated point guard of all time.

Only five players have ever a perfect 1.000 rating from 247Sports - RJ Barrett, Andrew Wiggins, Greg Oden, Dwight Howard and LeBron James - and four of them went on to get drafted No. 1 overall, and they combined for two NBA Rookie of the Year awards, 24 NBA All-Star honors, 17 All-NBA First Team selections, three NBA Defensive POY and four NBA MVPs.
