2026 Recruiting Thread

Another #homestate pickup for the Pokes. DL Landen Anderson from Edmond Santa Fe


Woot!

The recruiting dynamic is so interesting right now. We flipped this kid from KU but he took 4 officials (including KU) after his original commitment. Local kid so I'm guessing hes been on tons of unofficials to both us and Kansas and Im sure they are 10x more interesting than unofficials were pre wild west. Im not hating on the kid either- we had a kid flipped who took officials after committing to us and now we flipped a kid committed somewhere else. A decade ago once you committed you shut your officials down (unless your name was Ronald Jones-still a little salty there) because if you didn't you might not have a spot when you got back. Now its like oh well because every year you gotta keep kids engaged so might as well let them see if the grass is greener because that's easier than spending the time and money on them only to watch them walk when they start to turn into a solid contributor.
