Hoops News On A Football Saturday

Travis Ford and his staff are working at bringing more top talent to Stillwater.

And now, for something completely different.

Used to love that line from the old Monty Python shows. It was a not-so-subtle way of transitioning from one skit to another.

And on this football Saturday, with so much anticipation following the best season in school history and attached to the debut of Wes Lunt and the 2012 Cowboys, we take a break – albeit brief – for a bit of basketball.

Things appear to be looking up for Travis Ford’s Cowboys.

And after the season – and offseason – that was, that’s a welcome new buzz for the program.

Early indications are that Marcus Smart is indeed the real deal, a player who can provide the kind of leadership and toughness recent teams have sorely lacked, elevating everyone around him in the process. Not only that, but Kamari Murphy has emerged as an under-the-radar recruit who should help the Cowboys in a big way as well.

And out on the recruiting trail, Ford and his staff are making noise, making a play for some of the nation’s top talent.
