Marcus Smart returns, in his own words
Marcus Smart did the unthinkable on Wednesday — he turned down $8 million in guaranteed money to return to Stillwater, Oklahoma for his second year of basketball under Travis Ford.
Here’s what he had to say on Wednesday at his press conference:
I love you guys and I’m a Cowboy at heart, so it looks like I’ll be coming back for my sophomore year.
I am aware of how much money I’m giving up. A 19 year old kid with that kind of money. It’s a lot of money.
I just followed my heart. This is where it’s at.
Here’s Nash and Markel too:
This is one of the hardest decisions of my life … I decided to come back for my junior year. (Nash[1. I have no idea what’s going on here.])
We decided it was time for me to…keep building on this legacy here. (Markel)
We need to get Gallagher back jumping. (Markel)
And Ford (who couldn’t stop smiling):
I was excited because he was excited.
Finally, here’s a photo of the Union:
