TCU has added another big transfer pickup.

Oklahoma State guard Avery Anderson announced his commitment to the Horned Frogs on Saturday and became the fourth transfer to commit to Jamie Dixon this off-season.

Anderson averaged 11.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season for the Cowboys. Anderson, who starred at Justin Northwest High School, spent four seasons in Stillwater and started the last three.

The 6-foot-3 senior guard averaged 12.2 points in 2021 and 12.1 points in 2022. Anderson’s move to Fort Worth could be an indication of Damion Baugh’s decision to go pro or return for another year.

Baugh participated in the 2023 Portsmouth Invitational recently, a postseason showcase for the NBA reserved for college seniors. Mike Miles Jr. already declared for the NBA draft after the season.

Anderson joins Jameer Nelson Jr., Trey Tennyson and Essam Mostafa in Dixon’s four-man recruiting class and will also be joined by freshmen signees Isaiah Manning and Jace Posey.
