STILLWATER – Jacie Hoyt and Co. are quite active in the transfer portal as they’ve added three standout transfers in the past week.

We’ll start with the first addition out of the portal, North Texas guard, Quincy Noble.

Checking in at 5-10, Noble was incredible for the Mean Green averaging 17.0 points on 43% shooting from the floor this past season as a redshirt senior, as well as bringing down 4.2 boards per game, earning her All-Conference USA first team honors.

She became the first player in program history to earn all-conference honors in three seasons, while also becoming the 15th player in Mean Green history to hit the 1,000-point mark in a career. Her 527 points this past season checks in at No. 5 on the school’s single-season scoring list.

"We are very excited about the addition of Quincy,” said head coach Jacie Hoyt. “She has a very passionate and competitive spirit which is the first thing we look for in evaluating players. She will fit seamlessly into our team and what Oklahoma State is all about both on and off the court. Quincy is a natural scorer that will give us instant offense, but she's also tenacious on the defensive end of the floor. I'm confident our fans are going to fall in love with her immediately."

The latest signing came on Thursday as they signed Kansas forward, Ioanna Chatzileonti. Originally out of Greece, the 6-3 forward was solid during her short amount of time on the court this past season. She averaged 7.1 points and 5.9 rebounds per game before missing the last half of the season with an injury.

During her three-year career in Lawrence, Chatzileonti averaged 8.8 points on 44% shooting from the floor and 6.2 rebounds. With the departures of Kassidy De Lapp and Trinitee Jackson to graduation and Taylen Collins to the transfer portal, Chatzileonti fills an immediate role in the front court.

"Ioanna is a crucial piece as we continue to shape our roster this offseason. She adds instant Big 12 experience and allows us to have the depth that we need in the frontcourt," Hoyt said. "She is incredibly skilled, but also plays very physical which is rare. We are thrilled that she's a Cowgirl."

Just a few days ago, Hoyt and Co. added a talented in-state player in Arkansas guard, Rylee Langerman. Originally out of Norman, OK, and Christian Heritage HS, Langerman played in 82 games during her three seasons in Fayetteville. Throughout her career, she recorded 64 steals and 58 assists.

This past season as a junior, Langerman came off the bench and averaged 2.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

"Rylee is the type of player and person who coaches dream of coaching. Her work ethic is off the charts and she's a great teammate. She's going to bring a tenacity on defense that our fans will love," Hoyt said. "With all that being said, I believe her best basketball is still ahead of her. She has been an incredible ambassador for many things in her career in the SEC and I'm proud to say that she will be someone who represents everything we want to stand for at Oklahoma State and more. She's one of Oklahoma's finest and we can't wait to have her back home."
