The last time Oklahoma State got a basketball recruit of Cade Cunningham's ilk, things worked out smashingly.
Marcus Smart wasn't quite as highly heralded as Cunningham, the top guard in the 2020 recruiting class who committed to the Cowboys on Tuesday. But Smart was a huge recruit. A five-star sought by all the top schools. A can't-miss prospect on his way to the NBA.
And he turned out to be every bit as good as advertised.
Then, darned if the Cowboys didn't have him for two years.
Remember the press conference Smart did along with LeBryan Nash and Markel Brown?
