Following the news that Tres Tinkle, Stephen Thompson Jr. and Derrick Bruce committed to Oregon State on Tuesday afternoon, Scout and 247 Sports both responded by vaulting the Beavers recruiting class up the national rankings.

Evan Daniels, Hoops Recruiting Analyst at Scout.com, explained that the four-man group is unprecedented for the Beavers:

Oregon State now has Scout's No. 9 ranked recruiting class. We haven't seen recruiting like this at Oregon State before. — Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) September 2, 2014

247 Sports lists the Beavers' class as the No. 8 group in the country, indicating that it jumped 41 spots and now sits ahead of the talent compiled by UCLA, Michigan State, UConn, Kentucky, Oregon and Wisconsin.

While none of the three will be on campus for another year, it didn't stop people from celebrating and commenting on Twitter:

Oregon State had a HUGE day - and will get back to the NCAA tourney for the first time since Gary Payton was around: http://t.co/L8wGr3XeYE — Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanHoops) September 2, 2014

Since 2002, Oregon State has picked up two top 100 recruits. They reeled in two (Tinkle & Thompson) today and currently have three in 2015. — Evan Daniels (@EvanDaniels) September 2, 2014

Couldn't be any happier to say I'm an Oregon State Beaver! So blessed and honored to have this… http://t.co/ouijZAmIWM — Tres Tinkle (@tres_tinkle3) September 2, 2014
