First, the good news: Jameis Winston, the nation’s No. 1 quarterback recruit according to Recruiting Nation, has signed his letter of intent with Florida State and faxed it in. Better late than never. Winston didn’t sign on Wednesday, national signing day, because he was in Austin, Texas, at a high school all-star game. He returned home Thursday and made it official on Friday. Now the bad news: West Virginia has officially backed out of its 2012 game with Florida State scheduled for Sept.

DALLAS — Scanning the list of the nation’s top-25 recruiting classes unearths few surprises. The list is mostly national powers like Texas, Alabama, Notre Dame, LSU or USC. That, or growing programs at the height of recent success, like Stanford. Every single team, though, won enough games to qualify for a bowl game, save sleeping giant Tennessee trying to rebuild under Derek Dooley. One team sticks out. Despite a 5-7 season, Texas Tech still signed the nation’s No.

New UCLA coach Jim Mora signed a class of 25 on Wednesday, and it appears his first recruiting haul will rank among the nation’s top 20. Fifteen of the players are from California, two each in the states of Texas, Georgia and Arizona, and one from Delaware, Hawaii, New York, New Jersey and Florida. The class includes a junior college transfer, one who signed in December and will attend school in the spring. Four recruits were part of the ESPNU 150.

Oklahoma State has avoided any major surprises on Wednesday, but got welcome news when its top recruit, Dominic Ramacher, faxed in his letter of intent just before 9 a.m. local time, the school announced. Ramacher is the nation’s No. 3 tight end and No. 126 on the ESPNU 150. The Denton (Texas) Guyer star joins two of his former teammates as highly-recruited stars to make the move from Denton to Stillwater. Quarterback J.W. Walsh and receiver Josh Stewart just finished their freshman seasons for the Cowboys, who won the Big 12 title.

Our recruiting analysts have updated the class rankings, and the biggest Big 12 (Save it. For the purpose of this post, humor us) mover is Texas A&M, whose class dropped three spots from No. 9 to No. 12. That puts the Aggies’ class behind Oklahoma for third in the Big 12. Here’s where the league’s teams rank in the new update: No. 2: Texas Longhorns (last update: No. 2) Nine ESPNU 150 commits, including the nation’s top running back, Johnathan Gray (Aledo, Texas/Aledo), headline Texas’ well-stocked class.
