Was thinking the same thing, I like these guys following coaches. Should be can’t miss since they are very familiar with their abilities and should play a decent role next year. With Canepa, McDaniel, and if we add Rigby and Monney, those are all guys following coaches from a previous school.
Man, you completely missed my point. I didn't say I don't like small school guys. Some of our best players have come from small schools, and I think our staff does maybe the best job in the country finding those guys. The point I'm making is because we have success there, that shouldn't be the only well we go to.
You think we're only going after small school players? Just look at who we offer every year out of high school and in the transfer portals. We swing at the big fish, too. We just don't land many of them. I'm struggling to understand your argument because it's fundamentally incorrect.
That's not accurate. He had 3 tackles LAST year.
If so, then apologies. ESPN only shows the 3 solo tackles. Either way, my point still stands- I'm much more excited about the DE, despite coming from UTEP.

This is going to serve as a catch-all place for all NCAA Transfer Portal news, links, discussion, opinion and more dealing with the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
My argument is, you try to get as many of the best players in the country as possible (4 and 5 stars, heck even some three stars), and fill the holes with diamond in the rough guys. Obviously, we aren't going to get them all, or even a majority of them. Look at the list at the link, we have ZERO of the top 200 portal players in the country. That's terrible. To argue anything else is ridiculous.

It is poor performance from our recruiting department to continually be unable to land high end talent. Can you honestly disagree with that assessment?

The defense is killing it!
FYI. 42 tackles and a sack not 40 sacks.
I'll eat crow on a few things. 1) I was looking at 2024 individuals, not 2025. 2) I 100% agree that you can't accurately assess talent from 2,200 transfer kids, in addition to a quarter million high school kids. Because of that, it's inevitable that diamond in the rough kids will exists, potentially in high number.
