Cowgirl Hoops: Division-II Player of the Year Talexa Weeter Commits to Oklahoma State

Staillee Heard has some help.

With the transfer portal taking a lot from Oklahoma State over the past week or so, Jacie Hoyt and Co. got some good news on Tuesday when Division-II Player of the Year Talexa Weeter announced she has committed to be a Cowgirl. Playing at Fort Hays State in Kansas, Weeter averaged 27.5 points a game this past season while shooting 40% from 3.

Listed at 6-feet, Weeter should have one season of eligibility remaining after spending the past three at Fort Hays. She hails from Goodland, Kansas, a town of about 4,400 in the northwest part of the state.

Weeter scored in double figures in all 31 of the Tigers’ games this past season. She scored at least 20 points in 25 of those contests. She had at least 30 on a dozen occasions and surpassed the 40-point threshold twice.

She dropped 45 against Northwest Missouri State on Jan. 1 while hitting 13 field goals and 17 free throws. Then against Harding in the first round of the D-II NCAA Tournament, Weeter scored 46, going 16-for-23 from the field, 3-for-4 from 3 and 11-for-12 from the foul line.

Along with her gaudy scoring numbers, Weeter averaged 8.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.4 steals a contest.

Weeter worked her way up to these types of outputs. She played in just 11 games as a freshman, averaging 2.6 points a contest. As a sophomore, she averaged 14.6 points and six rebounds a game while coming off the bench 33 times.

Weeter was a three-time All-State selection in the state of Kansas and was named the state’s Miss Basketball in 2023.

This actually marks the second time she has been a Cowgirl, as that was also her high school mascot at Goodland. She led those Cowgirls to back-to-back state titles and left the high school game on a 39-game winning streak.

Hoyt’s rebuild is off to a strong start after the likes of Jadyn Wooten, Achol Akot, Amari Whiting and more announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal.
