According to Rivals.com, Oklahoma 23 commitments on National Signing Day ranked as the 15th best class in the country. That's eight spots ahead of the conference's next ranked class, the Texas Longhorns, which sits at 23rd. While OU may have had struggles throughout the recruiting season, the struggles faced my Mack Brown were brought to light on National Signing Day as well. The Longhorns had five players decommit from the 2013 class, which equals the total of decommits Texas has had from 2008-12.
