Before Saturday, Tracy Moore was not absolutely certain that he would announce his commitment to the Oklahoma State football program.

He had been recruited by Cowboy co-offensive coordinator Gunter Brewer, but had not conversed face-to-face with head coach Mike Gundy. On Saturday, while attending the Texas A&M-OSU basketball game in Stillwater, Moore met with Gundy.

Apparently, it went well.

On Sunday, Moore — Union High School's big-play wide receiver and the Tulsa World's All-Metro Player of the Year — announced his commitment to OSU.

"Coach Gundy and I had a good meeting," Moore said. "He said they're going to play in bowl games, and he said that their ultimate goal is the national championship.

"I made my decision about OSU before Christmas, and I got a lot of OSU stuff for Christmas. But I was a little hesitant to commit because I hadn't met the head coach. I feel good about it now. Basically, it's everything the facilities, the coaches. It's solid."

Verbal commitments are nonbinding. Feb. 4 is the first date on which recruits may sign national letters of intent. Two days earlier, Moore celebrates his 18th birthday.

Moore says he had been considering OSU, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri and Tulsa. He has made only one official recruiting visit, last month to Colorado. He is scheduled to officially visit OSU this weekend. During the football season, he made unofficial trips to Stillwater, watching the Cowboys beat Iowa State and lose to Oklahoma in the Bedlam battle.

Four junior-college recruits signed with OSU last month. Of the 14 recruits on the Cowboys' current commitment list, Moore is the only receiver.

As Union captured the 2008 Class 6A state title, the 6-foot-4 Moore lined up at wide receiver, tight end and in the backfield. He finished with a school-record total of 71 catches for 1,023 yards and 15 touchdowns.

At OSU, Moore could be used as a big wide receiver or as a tight end. He says he carried 240 pounds during football season, but has dropped to 230 while playing for the Union basketball team.

"I'm a possession receiver, but I can also go deep and make a play," Moore said. "Because of my size, a lot of people underestimate my speed."

Moore reminds me of JD Runnels and or Seth Littell formerly of the Paperclips.

Should be a good get.

Just how fast is he at 230 lbs.?

[CoachOSU]

doesn't matter at this point if he is only a 4.7 or 4.8 guy.... OSU staff can trim some weight, hit the speed cords, sprints, strength training and get him down to a 4.5 in a year or two....

He has one thing you can't coach.. talent

Good recruit

He reminds you of a FB or a RB? At 6'4" and his weight of 230-240ish he should remind you of Billy Bajema or Adarius Bowman. Perhaps you've been away from Oklahoma a little too long.

I think they have him a little tall, but what I was trying to say was good soft hands, agile for a big guy, and won't go down after first contact.

I saw him play two games at Union, and he was under utilized there, but good physique. Good demeanor on the sideline.

And OBVIOUSLY good decision making skills if he chose us...:D
