Does anybody know what our recruiting class for '12 is? Or a website that updates rankings? If there is one it would be cool to know where we stand with this great class!

there's the players...guessing we are 7th or 8th in the big 12 with our class.

If I had to rank them right now, I would say:
1. Texas
2. Baylor
3. OSU
4. KU
5. OU
6. ISU
7. Mizzou (sounding like they'll still be with us next year either way)
8. TTU/ TCU
9. TCU/ TTU
10. KSU
I listed K State last because they have zero verbal commitments right now. They will not be 10th when its all said and done. BTW, they are one of the final four teams vying for Willie Cauley.

Rivals has us at 8th in the Big12. The lowest team with a national rank is fourth in the Big12 Kansas at 28.
Beyond Borders – Texas, Iowa State Land International Commits

Basketball Recruiting
To be frank, not much is known at the present time about Ioannis Papapetrou, whose commitment was first reported by Scout.com. He hasn’t been extensively observed in high-level American events, but one assumes that over the next several months, observers will get a first hand opportunity to see just how good he is, as he’ll be sought out after his Texas pledge. He’s been described as a big guard with mid-range game, which seemed to be somewhat of a gap in the Texas recruiting class so far.
With four other players in the recruiting class that are thought to be fairly ready to compete in the Big 12, there’s the possibility that Papapetrou could be brought along slowly at Texas. The word is that he needs to increase athleticism and adjust to the speed of competition. On the other hand, he will bring international experience to the table, as well as the bloodlines as the son of a former Greek professional basketball player. It remains to be seen just what role he’ll play at Texas, but by all accounts, he is worthy of a spot in completing the roster going forward.
With three dandy players in the fray, Iowa State has to feel good about its 2012 recruiting class as well. Their group got all the more better today, adding a point guard to quarterback the class, 6′-2″ Nazareth Long of REDA (Ontario, Canada). The former Findlay Prep (NV) player committed to the Cyclones while on an official trip.
The Cyclones now have a pair of talented wings in Sherron Dorsey-Walker and Kerwin Okoro, and an underrated forward in Georges Niang committed. If Long can get those three the ball, the Cyclones will be in good shape for the future. It’s clear that coach Fred Hoiberg has wasted no time in upgrading the talent at Iowa State, first through talented transfers, and now on the recruiting trail with incoming freshmen.
Long announced his commitment via Twitter, and made the call after taking a visit to Rice, as well. He competed well for CIA Bounce, a Canadian based AAU team, on the spring and summer circuit. With a handful of point guards already on the roster at Iowa State, Long’s initial contribution may be as a reserve, giving him time to develop.

Make sure they account for the two transfers or the ranking really isn't valid. Those two guys have as much talent as any other newcomers in the Big 12.
Clyburn scored 17 points/game and got 8 rebounds/game at Utah
Lucious is talented but hasn't really don't the things Clyburn has done. I'll give you that.
They are both senior players who will bring a lot more than most highly rated freshmen can bring in terms of readiness to play immediately.
Actually, the reports from the team is that Lucious is very, very good; better than expected.
