Oklahoma State Signs Highest Ranked Recruiting Class In School History

Recruiting rankings are a hot topic among those who pay attention to recruiting, whether it be player or team rankings, there are many debates to be had. There is also no more important day for these debates and discussions than today, national signing day. 

In the past, Oklahoma State has been considered not necessarily a weak recruiting program, but a lackluster one. Personally, I do not agree with this as many of you know, but it is what it is. The Cowboys prove they can recruit by continuously filling up the win column, being in the top 10 in wins in the past decade or so. 

In most years, the Cowboys hover between 35-40 in the recruiting rankings nationally and anywhere from 4-6 in the Big 12 conference. 

The past two years have been a bit different though as the Cowboys signed their best class in program history in the 2021 class. They were ranked 30th nationally but had an all-time high in the average player ranking (86.60), coming from the composite scores made from ESPN, 247Sports, and Rivals. 

Now, in the 2022 class, they have once again re-set their record, averaging a score of 87.57 and sitting in the top 25 according to every major recruiting service:

On3: No. 21

247Sports: No. 23

Rivals: No. 25

Pokes Report rankings also has the Cowboys signing seven (7) four-star recruits in this 2022 class, six of which are on the offensive side of the ball. Pokes Report also had Oklahoma State signing seven four-star recruits in the 2021 class as well. 

No matter which way you look at it, the Cowboys are recruiting the best they ever have. Part of this can attributed to wins on the field but even most of this 2022 class was committed well prior to the Cowboys stellar season. The coaching staff is rock solid, and the culture is easy to see. The Cowboys are primed to run the Big 12 for years.
