Oklahoma State Football’s 2025 Recruiting Class Slowly Sliding
Recruiting in college football has evolved in recent years. Finding success in the transfer portal helps determine a program’s outlook on a yearly basis — but being grounded in high school football recruiting helps determine the programs’ overall roster outlook.
For the Oklahoma State Cowboys, they typically do more with less, which has worked as head coach Mike Gundy continually leads the program to winning seasons. So, how is the program’s 2025 recruiting class looking?
The Cowboys were hot on the trail early in the new cycle, as they had a top-25 recruiting class just a couple of months ago. On Monday, the program lost a four-star recruit as quarterback Adam Schobel flipped from the Cowboys to TCU — his local team.
“I have been a TCU fan since the day I was born and when they called, I quickly realized it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down,” Schobel posted on social media on Monday. “An opportunity to play alongside my cousin at my parent’s alma mater. With that being said, I will be signing with TCU in December!”
Now, Oklahoma State originally flipped the four-star quarterback from Baylor, but they now lose him to his hometown team. They’ve now fallen to the No. 9-ranked class in the Big 12 and No. 49 class nationally, according to 247Sports.
Oklahoma State was mounting for what could have been one of its best classes in recent history, but they’re now just looking to fill up their class as time rolls on. It’s unfortunate for Gundy and his staff to be falling behind in the recruiting world, but, as mentioned, the Cowboys typically do more with less talent on paper. However, they’re incredible at turning three-stars and underrated prospects into bonafide stars — as can be proven with running back Ollie Gordon proving to be one of the best players in the entire sport.

OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — If you have been waiting for the opening of a popular fast-food chain in Oklahoma City, your wait is almost over.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are taking on the Phoenix Suns in Game 2 of their opening-round series. The OKC Thunder are hoping that they can repeat their Sunday afternoon performance in this contest. Game 2 will be an interesting test with the Suns having more time to prepare.
Phoenix was up against a rock and a hard place in the series opener. The Oklahoma City Thunder not only have the talent advantage but the rest advantage as well. Phoenix punched their ticket to the NBA Playoffs on Friday night by staving off the Golden State Warriors on Friday night before landing in Oklahoma City on Saturday and playing on Saturday afternoon to the tune of a 119-84 blowout Thunder victory.
The NBA has seen plenty of upsets already. The Orlando Magic, Philadelphia 76ers and Portland Trail Blazers have all stolen games from the higher seed. The Thunder know they have to keep the foot on the gas in this contest.
“These series are unpredictable. No 2 games are the same. The minute you make an assumption, you are overconfident, or the minute you go down and you’re overly urgent, that can impact your ability to be present in the next game,” Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault said pregame on Wednesday night.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are seeing the Suns make an adjustment with their starting lineup by inserting Collin Gillespie to give Phoenix a trio of ball handling scoring options alongside Devin Booker and Jalen Green. This gives the Suns hope to be able to find better shot quality against this stifling Thunder defensive unit.
Oklahoma City is healthier now than they have been all season. The Thunder only are missing rookie Thomas Sorber (ACL) who is out for the year. This allows the Bricktown Ballers to roll out their traditional first five in this contest.
