Oklahoma Sooners Welcome New Recruits On National Signing Day

It’s that day of the year that every college football recruitnik works so hard to prepare for. It is also that day of the year that grown men have fits over what an 18-year old kid decides to do with his life. Don’t be that guy, please.

While some Oklahoma Sooners fans have been cautiously nervous about NSD, the class has turned out to be a decent one. They unfortunately didn’t get a couple position players they needed and a could-have-been Sooner legacy, Justin Manning signed with Texas A&M. Which was announced around a month ago; his brother is Demarcus Granger.

All-in-all, the day has turned out pretty well so far. Just think Sooner Nation, you could be a fan of USC, where the recruits have jumping ship like the boat is on fire.

Just stating the obvious here when I’m looking at the signess, but pretty stoked about Keith Ford (4* RB), Hatari Byrd (4* DB), D.J. Ward (4* DE) and Cody Thomas (4* QB).

As it sits right now half way through the day, it looks like Oklahoma will finish with a Top 15 class for 2013.

Here is how it has shaped up so far (via SoonerSports.com):
