With recruiting season in full swing, I will be evaluating all 26 prospects who are currently committed to the Oklahoma State football program. I will go in alphabetical order and will post three or four evaluations per day during the next week.
My evaluations will conclude next Friday when I rank OSU’s commitments including their chances of having an immediate impact in Stillwater.
Joseph Randle, Wichita (Kan.) Southeast
Position: Running back
Ht, Wt: 6-0, 180
Vitals: 4.4 in 40, 35-inch vertical
Picked OSU over… Iowa, Ole Miss, Missouri, Stanford, Texas A&M, Arizona, Boston College and others
Pros: Randle has excellent quickness and elusiveness. He has good size for a running back and very good feet. A slasher who will be a playmaker for the Cowboys and can catch passes out of the backfield. Good vision.
Cons: Not a physical runner. May need to gain a few pounds to handle the pounding of Big 12 football. Doesn’t possess elite breakaway speed.
Expect an impact in… 2010. I see him making an impact as a true freshman on special teams. He has the elusiveness and vision to be a good kick returner.
Here’s a link to a video of Randle in action (he’s the bigger RB wearing No. 1). **It has explicit language so I’ll just provide a link**
