Clock starts ticking on Class of 2012

Maybe it's just unfair the Class of 2012 has to follow up the Class of 2011, which features a potential dozen-plus high-major players. Maybe it's unfair the much ballyhooed Class of 2013 is right on their heels, a class that is a year younger but hyped to the 10th degree. The Class of 2012 has taken some hits from local and national evaluators and college coaches, who have been a little slow in throwing around scholarship offers to this group of juniors-to-be.

While there will certainly be fewer high-major players in this class, there is some intriguing talent that maybe is just beginning to blossom. A lot more eyes will be on the Class of 2012 this summer as the class looks to establish itself on the recruiting landscape.
