Oklahoma State Football National Signing Day, a Surprise-Free Success

I really wanted to title this "Who Likes High School Kids?" as talking about recruits always creeps me out a little, but it is obviously one of the top 100 factors in building a successful program (maybe top 90!), and Oklahoma State had a good day today.

Here is the list of signees:

Player Hometown Pos Size Rivals Scout
Herschel Sims Abilene, TX RB 5-10,190 4 5
J.W. Walsh Denton, TX QB 6-2,190 4 4
Desmond Roland Dallas, TX ATH 6-2,199 3 4
Lyndell Johnson Plano, TX DB 6-3,195 3 4
Ryan Simmons Cibolo, TX LB 6-1,218 3 4
Travis Cross Plano, TX OL 6-5,270 3 4
Alex Elkins Brenham, TX LB 6-4,233 3 3
Alex Villareal Hidalgo, TX DT 6-4,296 3 3
Ashaad Mabry San Antonio, TX DT 6-3,295 3 3
David Glidden Mustang, OK WR 5-8,158 3 3
Demarcus Sherod Decatur, GA LB 6-2,225 3 3

Jimmy Bean Denton, TX DE 6-5,218 3 3
Jonovan Griffin McKinney, TX ATH 5-11,162 3 3
Josh Stewart Denton, TX WR 5-10,163 3 3
Maurice Hayes Bakersfield, CA DT 6-4,325 3 3
Michael Bowie Corsicana, TX OL 6-6,300 3 3
Miketavius Jones Galena Park, TX DB 5-10,157 3 3
Nico Ornelas North Richland, TX LB 6-3,200 3 3
Ryan Robinson Ellisville, MS DE 6-4,265 3 3
Isaac McCoy Alma, AR WR 6-1,170 3 2
Matt Green Lexington, KY K 6-2,230 2 2
Mike Mustafa Katy, TX DT 6-4,275 2 2
Torrance Carr Richardson, TX ATH 6-3,210 2 2

Obviously Herschel Sims (he signed! take that TCU!) and JW Walsh (who is already on campus) are the gems of the class. But as Royal mentioned in his post from earlier in the week, there is a lot of solid top to bottom talent in here instead of the more top-heavy classes we have been used to.  

ESPN currently has the Cowboys ranked as the 22nd best class... for whatever that is worth to you.
