After looking at the latest football recruiting information from several sources, I found some interesting data around the conference.
Excluding OU and Texas from the data, here is a summary:
We led the conference in the number of recruits rated a 5.7 or higher with 12. ISU had 11, and WVU had 10. KU had the lowest with 1. BYU had 2, UCF 7, Houston 2, and Cincy 4.
We led the conference in the number of recruits with multiple P5 offers over 5 with 15. Baylor had 12 as did West Virginia. ISU had 11. Tech had
10. KU had 1 player with more than 5 offers. The biggest surprise was KState. While they had four players with 5 or more offers, they had by far the number with the fewest offers from a P5 program. Ten of their recruits had only offer and that was from the Wildcats. Either they are the best program in the nation at finding hidden gems and developing talent, or this class is going to hurt them down the road.
Overall, our class was the third best on paper, but Weat Virginia, Iowa State, Tech, and Baylor we’re close behind. TCU was also strong but signed far fewer recruits.
