Oklahoma State Cowboys

The Cowboys disappointing season will be soon forgotten, thanks to the arrival of Cade Cunningham, the No. 1 overall player for the 2020 recruiting class. He’s part of the 10th ranked class overall and along with do-it-all guard Isaac Likekele, would form an outstanding Big 12 backcourt next season.

Oklahoma State could be really good next season and Flavors may be able to play the small forward position on this team. But he’d have to settle being little more than a spot-up shooter if he picks this option with two dominant ball-handlers around. Will that be acceptable to him?

Washington State Cougars

CJ Elleby and Isaac Bonton will be one of the best duos in the Pac-12 next season but will need to add a couple of veteran pieces in order to take the next step. They’re the hometown option for Flavors, who is from the state of Washington. He’d have the ability to stay out west and play in the Pac-12 on a team that can really offer him a starting role.
Of course, if the NCAA Tournament is an even bigger role than getting minutes as a senior, the

Cougars will be in a tough position. Xavier and even Oklahoma State have a better shot at dancing and have better guards to have Flavors in a better spot to score. We’ll see where location figures into his decision-making process.
