The Recruiting Pedigree of New OSU Defensive Coordinator Jim Knowles

“It’s not a strength of his.”

That’s how Duke writer Adam Rowe recently described the recruiting prowess of now ex-Duke and current Oklahoma State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles, whose name was second on a list of six new hires announced in a tweet from Mike Gundy on Monday … behind Shane Euchus, an import from Ursinus College.

Not exactly the inspiring hire OSU fans hoped for on paper when Gundy parted ways with Glenn Spencer several weeks ago.

With Knowles in tow, OSU has an experienced DC who has piloted mostly average ACC defenses.
