It's pretty well known that Gus has been doing a lot of work widening the net for AU. The reason the numbers are skewed is because of the time period. Gus had to put a lot in motion in a very short time.
Over a longer period the numbers would even out.

I did do some research months ago 
but I worded it completely wrong, sorry about that.
The last two years, OU has ranked 15th or lower and the 10 years before that they never finished that low. Even in the other 5 years they didn't finish top 10 they signed 7 5*'s and averaged over 3.5*'s per class. In 2014 they had a 3.22 avg (would have been 11th in the SEC) and a 3.17 in 2013 (Texas had a 3.17 the last 2 years)
For the 3rd year in a row A&M is going to out recruit them pretty strongly for the top players in Texas. OU/UT only got a combined 4 guys from the top 10 rankings the last two seasons. 14 of the top 30 2015 players in Texas are already committed elsewhere and Texas/OU only have a combined 1 commit. I'm not trying to give A&m to much credit ,Alabama,LSU,Stanford,Oregon,Baylor,ect.. have been getting allot of top guys recently. Talent is leaving that wouldn't have in the past. You gotta think Texas will start recruiting better in state soon but what happens with OU if theres so many people getting the top guys?

I wonder how many inner-city churches could be built for $2.8 million?

I don't know but I do know 1/10 of that figure will buy one church.

I also have a theory on OU, but it isn't like yours....
I've been a long believer that the state of Texas lacks tough, hard nosed defensive players. The focus in most Texas high school programs is on finesse offense.
Oklahoma used to be a strong defensive program prior to the emergence in the mid 2000's of the spread offense.
I think OU is gathering offense from Texas, but trying to go more national/southern on defensive players.
Just my two cents.
I mean, you rarely hear about very many DTs or DEs out of Texas that SEC schools are chasing.
