Bijan Cortes made his Wichita State commitment official on Friday by signing a financial aid agreement.
 
The 6-3 guard out of Kingfisher, Okla. appeared in 59 games in over the past two seasons at Oklahoma and was a 50% career three-point shooter. As a sophomore he averaged 3.2 points and 2.0 assists in 17 minutes-per-game.
 
Cortes (whose first name is pronounced BEE-zhyan) will be immediately eligible at WSU as a first-time transfer and has two more seasons of eligibility remaining.
 
Head Coach Paul Mills said:
 
"I am extremely excited that Bijan is a Shocker. He is a versatile guard and an elite shooter who does exceptional work running a team. I had the privilege of watching Bijan win multiple state championships during his high school career in Oklahoma, and it was evident then that he is willing to do all that it takes to put his team in the best position to win championships. I'm confident that Bijan will be able to make an impact quickly due to his effectiveness on both ends of the court."
 
Cortes was an ESPN.com four-star recruit out of high school and ranked among the nation's top-25 point guards by 247sports. The 2021 Oklahoma MaxPreps Player of the Year led Kingfisher to state titles in 2019 and 2021 and a 107-4 overall record over the course of his high school career. As a junior he averaged nearly 22 points and six assists while shooting 51% from deep.
