I’ve seen quite a lot of chatter about how Oklahoma’s wheels are falling off as a result of they at present sit thirty fifth in 247 Sports activities’ 2023 Recruiting Rankings whereas the Longhorns are third.
Let’s get this out of the way in which: these rankings imply completely nothing in June. As we noticed final yr after Lincoln Riley left, recruiting courses can change in a short time. After that, the 2022 class seemed unsalvageable. Brent Venables and co. introduced it again to eighth within the nation.
The Sooners are in excellent arms. Take a breath.
After Samuel Omosigho’s dedication, OU has 9 commits for the 2023 cycle. That quantity will go up. Does anybody actually assume that Purdue and Boston School are going to have a greater recruiting class than OU on the finish of the 2023 cycle? They gained’t. Simply be affected person.
Florida and Oregon are each beneath the Sooners in the intervening time. As are Ole Miss, Michigan and Texas A&M. The exact same A&M that had the primary recruiting class for 2022. These rankings imply completely nothing proper now.
I can’t discover the tweet (they in all probability deleted it) however keep in mind a number of years in the past when Fox Sports activities Knoxville tweeted about how the Sooners had a foul recruitment rating?
How did that find yourself?
July goes to be an enormous month for Oklahoma Soccer. It looks like everytime I open Twitter the Sooners are within the prime three for a big-name highschool recruit. The gamers will come. Let the coaches do their jobs and recruit the gamers.
I’ll revisit this in a month. Mark my phrases: the Sooners might be a lot larger than thirty fifth by the tip of July.
