Oklahoma State finished 45th in the country in recruiting this past cycle. The only time a Mike Gundy class has finished ranked lower nationally was back in 2005, in his first year as the head coach (when he was hired about a month before signing day).
So you could make the case that — given the circumstances — this was the worst recruiting class of the Gundy era. That’s worth talking about of course (and we will definitely talk about it over the next few weeks), but it also doesn’t tell the whole story.
Recruiting class rankings don’t include transfers even though transfers count against class totals.
