Colleague Mitch Sherman knows his way around recruiting in the Midwest and Texas, and wrote this week about the Big 12’s recent recruiting struggles, headlined by Texas and Oklahoma signing underwhelming classes. In 2011, UT signed the nation’s fifth-rated recruiting class. It featured five of the top 10 prospects in the state of Texas. Of the five in the top 10 who went elsewhere, the Longhorns offered just one — running back Aaron Green, who followed his brother, Andrew, to Nebraska, and transferred a year later to TCU.

Baylor’s tradition of having absurd skill position talent under coach Art Briles looks poised to continue. Receiver Robbie Rhodes, the nation’s No. 35 overall prospect, has officially sent in his letter of intent. Baylor beat out a handful of in-state schools to earn the services of Rhodes, a 6-foot, 185-pounder from Fort Worth. Quarterback Chris Johnson, a 6-foot-4, 195-pounder from Bryan, Texas, signed back in December and is enrolling early. He’s the nation’s No.

The Big Ten plays unquestionably the nation’s toughest bowl lineup. The league also plays quite possibly the nation’s least diverse bowl lineup. One of those things should change when a new lineup is unveiled for the 2014 season and beyond. The Big Ten’s current rundown includes three matchups against SEC foes in Florida (Capital One, Outback, TaxSlayer.com Gator). It also includes at least two matchups against the Big 12 (Buffalo Wild Wings, Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas) and often a third (Heart of Dallas, which sometimes features Conference USA teams).

Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is staying put, pulling out of consideration to become Florida International’s new head coach. From our news story: A source close to Diaz said he decided to stay at Texas because he’s excited about the program’s future. The source went on to say Diaz wants to get the defense back where it was as one of the nation’s best. Good move from Diaz. He has the personnel to get this defense back to where it once was, and his predecessor left to become the head coach at Florida.

Now we will find out just about everything when it comes to Johnny Manziel’s football maturity. He might have won the Heisman Trophy and might have been the nation’s most exciting player to watch in 2012, but Texas A&M’s redshirt freshman quarterback is in for a real challenge in Year 2. That challenge will be leading the Aggies’ offense without the guidance of offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, who was named the head coach at Texas Tech on Wednesday.

This one is for all those Clemson fans wondering why quarterback Tajh Boyd has not received more national recognition. How is this: AFCA first-team All-American. Boyd was voted the best quarterback in the nation by the American Football Coaches Association, beating out Heisman front-runners Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M and Collin Klein of Kansas State for the first-team spot. Dalton Freeman also made the AFCA first team at center, beating out favorite Barrett Jones of Alabama.
