There are many (many!) ways to look at recruiting classes. Forwards, backwards, present tense, stars, lack of stars, nationally and within a conference are just a few of the innumerable comps you can make.
On National Signing Day, the Pokes fell out of the national top 30 with its 2018 recruiting class, although at No. 33 this is the best class Gundy has hauled in since 2014 when the Pokes were ranked No. 27.
OSU finished No. 5 in the Big 12 (no surprise there) behind Texas, OU, TCU and …………………………………………….. Baylor.
Rankings are measured based on the aggregate score of a class, where OSU scored about how it always scores.
