STILLWATER – It’s been 48 hours since Oklahoma State fired head coach Mike Gundy. Since the news came out on Tuesday, Cowboy football has had five decommitments. 

The first decommitment came from Jenks four-star running back, Kaydin Jones. 

The most recent decommitment came from three-star quarterback out of Lancaster, TX, Kase Evans, who plays for Lexington.

"After many prayers and a long talk with my family, I have decided to decommit from Oklahoma st and reopen my recruitment," Evans said in a tweet. "I want to say a huge Thank you to Coach Gundy, Coach Meachum, Coach Gonzales, Coach KC, and especially Coach Johns for seeing my potential to make an impact at OSU. Looking forward to big things ahead!"

In four games so far for Lexington, Evans has 811 passing yards, 11 touchdowns and one interception.

The other three decommitments have come from La Vega (Waco, TX) WR Jabarie Thornton, Berryhill (OK) HS offensive lineman, Aiden Martin and Bixby (OK) HS LB Trey McGlothlin.

oh wow, that's a total surprise .... SMH

who would stay around when you don't even know who the coach is going to be. Bail out now, avoid the rush.

I'm expecting the portal departures to be just as bad.

what a bunch of idiots running this show

How is a lame-duck coaching staff made up of coaches who most likely won't be retained supposed to hold a recruiting class together for a coach that's not even there yet? Maybe not wanting to fire Gundy in December and having mass decommits then was in the thought process but this is likely going to get ugly.
