Mohamed Bamba, a projected top-five pick in June's draft, said that had the opportunity been in place, he would have jumped straight from high school to the NBA.
The Texas Rangers have placed Adrian Beltre on the 10-day disabled list with a left hamstring strain.
While there's always a need for depth in the secondary, the Cowboys have covered themselves well at the position and can target other areas.
Albert Pujols talked to me about joining Adrián Beltré as the only two players born in the Dominican Republic with 3,000 hits: "It's very special, especially knowing all the Dominican players that come through the big leagues. To be able to accomplish that has been unbelievable. But I really don't think about it. When I hit it, when that moment comes, I'll probably be more focused on it. But right now, my job is to try and win every game and to try to help this ball club win. That's my goal. I don't play for records, I play to win a championship. And there would be nothing better than to bring a championship this year to the city of Anaheim. That's my main focus. So I'm aware, because I mean, I'm human. I'm aware of where I'm at. We have big numbers in our stadium that show you every day! It's going to be a very special moment whenever it happens. But I really don't look for it, I really just let it happen. Just like I have with the 500 and 600, and ignore the distractions."
Former Texas DT Poona Ford headlines a crop of players who put up big college numbers and should be pleasant NFL surprises.
Every top draft pick has a story about the emotions he felt before being selected. Here's a look at recent Cowboys who got the call.
Jed Lowrie hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning and the Oakland Athletics beat the Texas Rangers 3-2 on Tuesday night, tagging Cole Hamels with his fourth loss before the end of April for the first time in the left-hander's career.
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has ruled out any chance of wide receiver Dez Bryant returning to the team.
The Cowboys are painfully thin at linebacker, and with the constant worry about Sean Lee's health, the position will be a big priority this week.
Hanging out at Deion's house convinced Randy Moss that he was going to be drafted by the Cowboys. But when he wasn't, he set out to be their nemesis.
I spoke with Espn 100 PG Courtney Ramey. Today he is taking his official Louisville. He has already made official visits to Texas and Oklahoma State. At Webster Groves HS, Ramey has won back to back state championships and Mr. Basketball under Jay Blossom. He greatest strengths are his leadership, scoring ability, passing vision and positional length.
Marcus Semien hit a tiebreaking homer on the first pitch of the ninth inning and the surging Oakland Athletics went on to their third straight victory, 9-4 over the Texas Rangers on Monday night.
The Cowboys have picked at least one defensive lineman in five of the last six drafts and are likely to add another this year.
The deadline for early entrants to declare for the NBA draft has passed, so it's time to re-evaluate the early top 25 for 2018-19. With so many players testing the waters yet not signing with an agent, it's more art than science.
The Dallas Cowboys have picked up the fifth-year option for 2019 on Byron Jones' contract, according to multiple sources.
