The 2007 Oklahoma recruiting class had a mix of outcomes, reflecting varying levels of development and performance. With an original class rank of 17 and a subsequent S2S rerank of 30, the expectations were not fully met, as evidenced by the overall performance of the class. The blue chip percentage of 52 indicates that just over half of the recruits were considered elite prospects, but several of these players did not fulfill their projected potential.
Among the ranked recruits, Donald Stephenson stands out as a hit, showing that even those with lower rankings can achieve significant success. However, the presence of multiple misses, particularly from higher-ranked recruits like Austin Box and Keith Nichol, demonstrates that not all expectations were realized. The analysis indicates that while some players developed into contributors or starters, others failed to achieve any notable success.
Overall, the 2007 Oklahoma recruiting class underperformed relative to expectations. The S2S rerank decreased, indicating a decline in perceived talent level as players progressed through their college careers. Despite having several players who achieved success at the NFL level, the number of misses highlights the inconsistency in the outcomes of the class. The takeaway is that the class had potential but fell short of the anticipated impact.
