Basketball Early Signing Day

Well, basketball season is about to start. With new head coach Travis Ford leading the way, the Pokes look to reestablish themselves as legitimate Big XII and national contenders. After a disappointing 2007 season (16-16) under Sean Sutton, things seem to be turning around under a more disciplined coach in Ford. 

As for next year; however, Travis Ford has brought in an impressive 2009 recruiting class (ranked #9 by Rivals), getting commits from very talented players in Roger Franklin, Torin Walker, Karron Johnson and Raymond Penn. Ford has actually received signatures from all of the commits except for Karron Johnson and Torin Walker.
