Oklahoma State Leaps Forward with NCAA Rule Change | Big 12 Basketball News

Oklahoma State’s Steve Lutz is building a powerhouse roster with a top recruiting class and key transfers, all under the new NCAA “5-for-5” rule that eliminates redshirts and lets players use all five years of eligibility. Starting in 2027 but already impacting current athletes, the rule gives players like Jordan Burks an extra year and younger recruits like Mekhi Ragland four full seasons — reshaping roster strategy and player development. Unique cases, including international players and those with unusual eligibility hurdles, are under review before July 31, but the overall shift promises deeper, more flexible teams for Lutz as he aims to build a championship-caliber program without the old redshirt constraints.
