  "account": "The Oklahoma State women's basketball roster for the 2026-27 season appears to be one of the strongest ever assembled by the program. For the first time, OSU is ranked at the top of the preseason Big 12 poll. Coach Jacie Hoyt made significant offseason moves to improve the team, adding the nation's No. 1 ranked transfer portal class, which included former Iowa State center Audi Crooks and Florida guard Liv McGill.\n\nStailee Heard, the only returner from last season's team, is also part of the roster. This season, OSU has made it to the NCAA Tournament three times in Hoyt's four years. Last year, the Cowgirls finished 24-10 and lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.\n\nThe roster includes a mix of freshmen, juniors, seniors, and a fifth-year senior. Notable players include Addisyn Bollinger, a freshman guard from Frenship High School in Texas; Ellie Brueggemann, a senior guard from Lindenwood; Zoe Canfield, a junior guard from Topeka, Kansas; Audi Crooks, a senior center from Iowa State; Yuting Deng, a junior guard from China; Callin Hake, a fifth-year guard from Nebraska; Stailee Heard, a senior guard from Sapulpa; Mojca Jelenc, a freshman center from Slovenia; Liv McGill, a junior guard from Florida; Nene Ndiaye, a senior guard from Senegal; LA Sneed, a sophomore guard from Utah; and Talexa Weeter, a senior guard from Fort Hays State.",
