going nearly two months without making an addition to its recruiting class for 2024 oh you gets a pair in less than 24 hours linebacker James Nesta from North Carolina and dozie izukama receiver from Fort Worth both are three-star recruits yeah Nesta is also a pitcher and is planning to play both at OU if he doesn't Sign Pro one service ranks him a four-star and one has in the 19th overall linebacker but he's the 373rd ranked Prospect he's a comma is the 88th ranked receiver 669th overall Prospect OU beat Houston Arizona and K-State for him 6-2 the new coach really likes him oh you just got mostly four stars in their eight player list of 24 commits the last two that we just talked about fall into a category of must over achieve because OU has not made a habit of winning with the recruits ranked in the mid 300s and 600s nationally definitely not bama Georgia LSU type stuff I was thinking oh you would find a way to keep former superstar tight end Stephen Alexander's son Cooper in state I don't know how Cooper Alexander's measurables match up uh by the standards down there but I know as Deb was an elite on and off the field guy and I've heard Cooper has big potential and I'll be surprised if the Washington Oklahoma tight ends not a productive college player he's going to Iowa state which they they're pretty familiar with ou tied in or Oklahoma tight end recruits finally I'll grade all you in large part I'm recruiting on who it signs to play defensive line they must sign highly coveted Oklahoma native David Stone and I'd expect the coach known for defense events that he would would win this one it's time to sign SE caliber pauses and you know not finish second often OSU has picked up a couple of 2024 commitments offensive lineman Chauncey Johnson from Arkansas 6-4 close to 290 pounds and Melissa Texas linebacker Gunner Wilson the upcoming season in Stillwater could be very interesting the end of last season the roster overhaul sparked a story in the athletic a couple of weeks ago with Mike Gundy the longtime head coach shooting down the notion they lost control of the team late last year as someone had suggested and the honesty when it comes to the new age of nil and recruiting Gundy saying paraphrasing here he can't or would prefer not to deal with a line of people outside his door with some asking if he or oh as you can match an offer from another school in terms of financially now he does like the team chemistry Dean coming out of this spring with the addition of a lot of new faces you know I love the talk and I and I hope Mike is right because if if if he isn't right and it doesn't work that means that other people are paying and getting the others and then you got to figure out where you go from there but I wouldn't bet against Gundy in this case well LSU
