Early in the basketball season, I sat at an Oklahoma State practice and watched.
I watch about a practice a week in the season, but something about this particular day stood out. As practice was wrapping up OSU coach Mike Boynton came to me at the scorers table and looked over toward a basket.
At it, Kalib Boone was working with assistant coach Cannen Cunningham. Boynton looked back to me and said, “That kid has a chance to not have to be here for four years.”
It was an eyebrow raiser. Boone hadn’t started a game for the Cowboys to that point.
