As an old point guard, Travis Ford may covet quality at the point above all positions.

So Wednesday was a good day for Ford and the Cowboys, who officially scored one of the nation's premier point guard prospects with the signing of Dallas standout Jawun Evans.

A five-star rated recruit by Scout.com, Evans had been committed to Oklahoma State since early October. He made it official Wednesday, the first day of the NCAA's early signing period. OSU also announced the signing of power forward Igor Ibaka, the younger brother of Oklahoma City Thunder standout Serge Ibaka, who is sitting out this year at junior college in hopes of having three seasons of eligibility at OSU.

In Evans, the Cowboys get a playmaking point man known for his speed on the floor and for getting his teammates involved. As a junior a year ago, Evans led Kimball High School to the Texas Class 4A state title, averaging 22.4 points, 8.1 assists and 3.9 rebounds a game.
