Cooper Michalski '26 Recruiting Profile

Ever since I could remember, I've always had a strong passion for basketball. Growing up in a rural area, I've always had to work twice as hard for recognition in any sport. Watching my sister work so hard for all her success and eventually committing to Oklahoma State gave me even more of a drive to make it to the next level. I've always been grateful for every opportunity I get, and playing college basketball would be no different. This has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little kid, and I have been working to make that dream a reality. I'm a hard worker who will do whatever it takes to get a win. I love getting coached and always keep a strong mindset. I'm a three sport athlete, also competing in track and field and cross country. After my sister showed me the sport of running, it's become a second passion to me. competing in those two other sports have made me a better athlete on the basketball court.
