A good OL group is shaping up nicely with Bates, Ozaeta and Green so far.
Joshua Bates from Durango, Colorado intrigues me the most. Like Creed Humphrey in 2017, he comes in as a three-star recruit. It is said Bates is a very intense, physical player.
Bates committed last August and maintained his commitment to OU through Riley's roster and recruiting poaching as he left for USC.
If Bates can develop as Humphrey did, regardless of what OL position he plays, it would be quite a coup for Bedenbaugh.
