Southwestern Oklahoma State University basketball coach Todd Thurman has announced that three players who have collegiate experience have signed national letters-of-intent to attend SWOSU and play basketball for the Bulldogs next season.

The group of signees include Trevor Guy of Stephen F. Austin, Tanner Hazelbaker of Oklahoma Christian and Jordan Frosch of South Plains Junior College. Thurman said he hopes to add one or possibly two more players before the fall semester begins.

“Each of these three will bring a special skill set that we need in order to continue to be successful in the Lone Star Conference,” Thurman said. “We have added some size and toughness with Trevor and Jordan while Tanner will help at guard with his ball handling abilities.”
