Social Reaction to Pokes Signing 22 on First Day of Early Signing Period

Oklahoma State signed 22 new players on Wednesday (23 if you include Patrick McKaufman who was already on campus) and will likely end with a top 30 recruiting class for the sixth time in the Mike Gundy era when the dust settles in February. Gundy commented on how the new three-day December period is great for college football (and for Oklahoma State), and the Pokes took advantage.

There was a ton of reaction on Twitter, too. From us in the media to current Pokes to future ones, everybody weighed in on the new signing period, OSU’s new class, the usual signing day absurdity and a future that seems pretty bright in Stillwater.

Here’s a sampling.

One huge benefit of early signing period + signing bulk of class early? You get 6 week head start on 2019 class, can put whole focus there. Huge for #okstate

This is my 18th year as a Rivals Ultimate Ticket member. That’s a lot of money, time and anxiety spent on HS kids. Might need a new hobby.

If every reporter doesn’t quote RT the school’s official announcement does the signing really even become official?
