Recruiting season is about to heat up with two months left before signing day. We haven't updated the Big 12 recruiting scorecard since the middle of the season, because commits slow down as their seasons hit full stride in the fall.
Expect plenty more to roll in shortly, but here's where the Big 12 sits for now. You'll need ESPN Insider to view the full class, but click on each team to see it all.
Not a ton of movement since the middle of the season, but a big pickup by the Horned Frogs makes TCU the only Big 12 team to make a move since our last update.
