    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Oklahoma wanted Mario Taybron. Twice. The Sooners failed to get him both times. Kansas State, though, had much better luck.

    Taybron ? a 6-foot-2, 195-pound guard from Eastern Oklahoma State, a junior college in Wilburton, Okla. ? said he signed over the weekend with the Wildcats' basketball team. He has two years of eligibility remaining.

    Taybron said he expects to play mostly in the two-guard spot, vacated when Fred Peete transferred to New Mexico State.

    ?They want me to score points,? said Taybron, who added, ?I knew K-State was a football school. But I felt like I fit in when I made my visit for basketball.?

    Eastern Oklahoma State coach Jimmy Voight said: ?I think it's a good get for K-State to help rebuild its program. He's a good kid. He played point guard for us, but he can play the other guard position.?</div>
