If there's one thing that's good about Oklahoma's struggles on the football field this season it's that the team's short comings in various positions were exposed and the need for talent and depth at quarterback, receiver and offensive line couldn't have been clearer. The Sooners were decimated by injury on the line not to mention injuries to the quarterback and tight ends. Then there are the receivers who didn't necessarily suffer from injuries. Instead they had the drops and the inability to separate from defenders which ultimately could be worse because eventually injuries heal.
Apparently recruits love the opportunities birthed by Oklahoma's struggles because despite five losses this season Oklahoma has officially moved to "waiting list" mode with the 2010 recruiting class. Apparently the reports of Oklahoma's football demise have been greatly exaggerated.

As of right now the Sooners have 27 commitments for 2010 and are still in on the Cameron Newton sweepstakes. Currently Rivals has Oklahoma's recruiting class ranked #4. ESPN has them at #5 and Scout puts them at #2. The class consists of 12 offensive players, 10 defensive and 5 guys who are being recruited as athletes. Of the 27 commits 14 of them are 4-star recruits and 13 are 3-star. At least five of Oklahoma's 2010 commits are expected to be enrolled for spring classes and thus spring ball.
