#2 overall 2020 recruit
Projected #1 pick in 2021 draft
Beat out Kentucky, Florida, UNC
From Texas and goes to HS in FL

How did they do it?
Hired his brother as an assistant coach in June:

"To be honest, I was this close to picking a different school, but blood is always thicker than water. Go Pokes,"

Cowboys coach Mike Boynton hired Cunningham's brother, Cannen, back in June and Oklahoma State established itself as the clear favorite from that point.

I was hopeful that Pike would have made a similar move when Jay Young left.

There are many ways to win recruiting battles.

Let Rasheen Davis go to ASU - disappointing

Pike would not do something like hiring a recruits brother and I glad for that!! We have an honest coach unfortunately that doesn't always win the recruiting battles but it is what it is

Yeah this type of behavior albeit beneficial for major major recruits doesnt seem to be in pike wheelhouse. I like what hes building, an honest program with guys who want to be here. Upward trajectory. Cannot wait until Thursday.
