Here's a little rundown on each of the Big 12 school's recruiting classes and how they ranked in the conference.
1. Oklahoma
The class is heavy on ... Skill players. The running back tandem of Justin Johnson and Jermie Calhoun could be the best in America, while receivers DeJuan Miller, Jameel Owens and Josh Jarboe are all very big and very fast. Landry Jones is a terrific quarterback prospect, but he'll have to sit and wait through the Sam Bradford era. The biggest stars might be on the defensive line led by end R.J. Washington and tackle Stacey McGee.
The player who'll someday be a really big deal ... DE R.J. Washington
The player you might care about this year ... LB J.R. Bryant
What it all means to the real world of college football ... Don't expect the two-time defending Big 12 champions to fall off the map any time soon with the league's best recruiting class. There's a little something for every spot with elite talents coming in on the defensive line and at the skill positions to once again show that this is the league's best program. If you're good, you'll play right away for Bob Stoops, and that message has gotten through to the top guys. Last year's class was underwhelming, but this year's haul made up for it.
