STILLWATER — Coach Mike Boynton perhaps best describes junior Cam McGriff's value to the Oklahoma State basketball team not with an example of what he does on the court, but with an image of what the Cowboys look like with him off it.
“If there's ever a day Cam has to go to the bathroom for 15 minutes of practice,” Boynton said, “there's just the blind leading the blind down there.”
With the exception of Trey Reeves, a walk-on who Friday was placed on scholarship, McGriff is the Cowboys' lone non-freshman forward. On a team with more than twice as many newcomers as returners, McGriff's experience is invaluable down low as the Cowboys get set to open their season Saturday at Charlotte.
