As we examine this class of Oklahoma prospects certain points jumps out at us.
- First off, there were no five-star prospects in this Oklahoma class. Unfortunately, this is not unusual for Oklahoma high school recruiting.
- Additionally, there were only three four-star players in the class as well. OU finds a way to contend for the National Championship every year in spite of weak Oklahoma high school classes. This must drive Longhorn fans crazy.
- This class underscores the essential need for OU to have at the helm a Head Coach who can recruit Texas and the rest of the country hard. OU has to pay Lincoln whatever it takes to keep him in Norman.
- While the State of Oklahoma class was relatively weak, OU did get the cream of the crop in Andrew Raym. Many recruiting services listed Raym as the top offensive linemen in the country. It’s hard for an offensive lineman to get five stars.
- Next, OSU continues to settle for 2nd best as top-notch talent either signs with OU or goes out of state.
- Finally, six different football programs from outside the state signed players ahead of OSU. Every year out of state schools recruit three-star players and turn them into difference makers.
- The one player that OU could have used was Broken Arrow’s Myles Slusher, Slusher was a four-star standout defensive back out of Broken Arrow. He eventually ended up at Arkansas after turning down Oregon.
- Thanks to the OU brand, the Sooners can recruit nationwide. Last year’s class hailed from nine (9) states other than Texas and Oklahoma.
