Oklahoma quietly built roster that rivals SEC elite
SARAH PHIPPS/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesAs a member of the Big 12, Oklahoma, along with chief rival Texas, regularly possessed the most talented rosters in that league year in and year out. All but three times since 2000, a top-25 recruiting class by the Sooners translated into a top-25 national ranking at the end of the season.
You're only as good as the talent you are able to bring to the roster and your ability to develop and grow that talent -- and, of course, retain that talent. Feeding the pipeline, whether it be through high school recruiting or, these days, the Transfer Portal, is the lifeblood of every college football program.
