Aden Kelley’s Commitment Highlights Importance OSU Has Put on In-State Talent
Over the past decade, Oklahoma State has sometimes struggled to keep other Power Five schools from coming in and raiding the top in-state football talent in Oklahoma.
From 2010-15, OSU landed just one top-five kid from Oklahoma (Devon Thomas … that did not go well). So let’s take this back to 2016 and look at where the top five players in the state have gone and how many Oklahoma State has landed. Then let’s compare that with the work OSU is doing in 2021.
2016
OSU: 1

OSU actually landed Calvin Bundage and Tramonda Moore, but obviously only Bundage ended up working out in Stillwater.
2017

OU: 4
Other: 1
2018

This was the C.J. Moore year.
