And just like that, poof, it was gone.
The 2023 recruiting cycle has now officially closed after national signing day on Wednesday. The Oklahoma Sooners didn't have a whole lot going on but closed the book on the 2023 recruiting class with one more signature from local product Taylor Heim.
Heim gave the Oklahoma Sooners 26 players in the cycle. Of the top 10 teams in the 247Sports composite rankings, only Oregon (29) and Alabama (28) had more prospects signed to their recruiting classes than Oklahoma.
Only Alabama, Georgia, and Texas brought in more five-star prospects than Oklahoma's three. Though Texas finished higher in the final team rankings than the Sooners, the Red River Rivals tied in the number of four and five-star prospects signed at 17.
Additionally, the Sooners are one of six current or future SEC teams in the top 10 of the composite team rankings. 12 of the top 25 are current or future SEC teams.
Here's a look at the top 25 of the 247Sports team rankings.
