How can this be the final when signing day is tomorrow?

I'm not sure how this is labeled as the final scorecard by ESPN when in the article they admit that things could and will likely change before the end of tomorrow.

Also, considering it's now 2012 I think it's time to remove A&M and Mizzou from these lists and include TCU and WV.

Anyway, KSU's class seems low considering the year they had. Not really a surprise that the four texas schools and OU make up the top 5.

I wondered the same thing. I suppose it's the final pre-signing day scorecard, but that seems kind of worthless considering he could have waited another day and actually did a final scorecard. Maybe he's struggling for things to write about and will do one tomorrow as well.

I agree. A&M ranks 3rd and Mizzou ranks 6th in the Big 12, but those rankings won't carry over to the SEC. I'm more interested in how "big east" players recruited by West Virginia compare to "big 12" player rankings. Or if TCU started signing even more talented players because of their move to a BCS conference. There are so many questions to ask, yet it seems Ubben took the easy way and just copied and pasted the ESPN rankings - lazy journalism.

In my opinion, TCU would fall in right behind Baylor and West Virginia just behind TCU (ahead of OSU) due to number of ESPN150's and combination of # of 4* and 3* recruits.

TCU - 1 ESPN150, Four 4*, Twelve 3*, and 19 recruits total. One 2* and two JUCO's. (TCU above WVU due to # 4*'s)
WVU - 1 ESPN150, Two 4*, Eighteen 3*, and 26 recruits total. Four 2*, one unrated, and one JUCO.

1. Texas
2. Oklahoma
3. Texas Tech
4. Baylor
5. TCU
6. West Virginia
7. OSU
8. ISU
9. K-State
10. Kansas

Why are MO and the Mason Jar boys even in the equation when they are rating recruiting classes that will never be in the Big XII?

I see I was a little late with my question.

**CYphyllis** · 01-31-2012, 09:08 AM

ESPN should really give up on recruiting.

**mj4cy** · 01-31-2012, 09:20 AM

I see they went out on a limb and put Texas and OU up front.

**UNIGuy4Cy** · 01-31-2012, 09:22 AM

Add Montgomery in there, I am getting the vibe he is committing to the Clones.

**Knownothing** · 01-31-2012, 10:15 AM

How is Okie State having a bad recruiting year. That makes no sense.

I don't think ESPN has heard anything about the whole conference realignment thing yet.

A&M's class is going to change a lot in the next 24hours:

Just lost Darion Monroe - Yahoo! Sports to Tulane.

Good chance Bralon Addison - Yahoo! Sports may flip to Oregon.
