Ford has always been able to find talented players. I’ve seen people make silly comments that go something like this … It’s easy to get players to go to Oklahoma State to play in the Big 12 Conference, but this is SLU and the A-10 and Ford won’t be able to get good recruits here … Oh, really? This is a guy who once brought a Top 35 recruiting class into EASTERN KENTUCKY. Back in his days at UMass — which plays in the A-10 — Ford landed a couple of four-star recruits including Gary Forbes. Other highly regarded UMass recruits included Ricky Harris and Stephane Lasme. Forbes and Lasme each won an A-10 Conference Player of the Year Award. In fact, Ford coached the Conference Player of the Year four times in eight seasons during one stretch at UMass and Oklahoma State. His two Conference Players of the Year at OSU were James Anderson and Marcus Smart. Anderson and Smart were All-America choices as well.

Oklahoma State had 20 All-Big 12 selections and three Big 12 Freshmen of the Year during Ford’s eight seasons. Four of Ford’s players have been drafted into the NBA: Lasme, Smart, Anderson and Markel Brown. And two other Ford-recruited players played in the NBA: Forbes (UMass) and Terrel Harris (OSU.) At OSU Ford coached four McDonald’s (high school) All-Americans
