Travis Ford can recruit. Marcus Smart, Jawun Evans, Le’Bryan Nash are all top ranked high school recruits who have been recruited by Ford. He has consistently reeled in some top tier talent to Stillwater. Just days after finalizing the 2015 class it appears he’s already on the trail recruiting top-flight talent for the 2016 class.
Thon Maker is one of the most coveted prospects in the 2016 recruiting class. In April, the 7-foot big man cut his list to four schools: Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas and Arizona State. It was widely believed that Maker would reclassify and become a 2015 prospect, and likely join a team the second semester of his freshman year.
