Many Sooner fans have been asking about possible OU-level prospects from the home state. While we were all spoiled by the vast array of talent that the state produced in the 2009 class, Oklahoma talent has taken a major hit during the 2010 recruiting year. Fortunately, the future looks bright in the Sooner State.
Below are a list of some potential mid to high major guys coming out of the state for 2011, 2012, and 2013. Thanks to Coach Pete Abbott and Coach Stu Hendricks for helping to make this list. I am sure we will be able to add to it over time.
