It’s May, which means that the 2021 football recruiting rankings don’t mean a whole lot given that the first signing day is more than seven months away and the second one another six weeks after that.
However, it is disconcerting that OSU is last in the Big 12 rankings for a couple of reasons. 1. Because they’re last in the Big 12. And 2. Because it’s not OSU’s M.O. to trail early and close late. If anything, they do the opposite where they’ll jump out to a big lead in the recruiting rankings with a lot of early commitments before fading when the big dogs land big names late in the cycle.
