Cunningham made the announcement via Twitter on Tuesday:

Oklahoma State coach Mike Boynton did all he could to secure the prized recruit, and his efforts paid off. Boynton hired Cunningham's brother, Cannen, as an assistant coach in June. The hiring immediately skyrocketed Oklahoma State's chances of landing the likely one-and-done star.

In addition to Montverde, Cunningham also played in the Nike EYBL circuit. He averaged 25.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game and shot nearly 60 percent from the floor en route to being named the EYBL's most valuable player.

Cunningham selected the Cowboys over Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina and Washington.
