At the end of the day, it's still considered an out of state school. It will be harder to convince a player to leave Texas when they have two great options in-state that have more money than OU.
If OU hits a rough patch, they could very well become the next Arkansas. Back in the 80s, Arkansas recruited DFW and East Texas just as good as OU does today. But their lack of success changed that. Now that OU has to play schools with actual talent, I don't think it's farfetched to predict a bleak future.

Tejas and SMU. Agreed. Aggy almost makes it three better alternatives than OU.

Arkansas has never recruited Texas as good as Oklahoma.
Here is a list of the all-80s team.
Quinn Grovey from Oklahoma.
Tony Cherico from Missouri.
Brad Taylor from Arkansas.
Gary Anderson from Missouri.
Barry Foster from Texas.
James Shibest from Texas.
Donnie Centers from Texas.
Derek Russell from Arkansas.
Derek Holloway from New Jersey.
Billy Winston from Arkansas.
Theo Young from Arkansas.
Jim Mabry from Tennessee.
Steve Korte from Colorado.
Elbert Crawford from Arkansas.
Freddie Childress from Arkansas.
Alfred Mohammad from Arkansas.
Billy Ray Smith Jr. from Texas.
Wayne Martin from Arkansas.
Michael Shepherd from Louisiana.
Ron Faurot from Texas.
Rickey Williams from Arkansas.
Bert Zinamon from Arkansas.
Ravin Caldwell from Arkansas.
Danny Walters from Arkansas.
Greg Lasker from Missouri.
Steve Atwater from Missouri.
Richard Brothers from Arkansas.
The best players came from Arkansas during this decade. Either Arkansas high school football has been in a decline or coaches have not recruited the state as hard as they should.
