Altogether, the Big 12 inked 178 high school players this signing period. And for the fourth consecutive year, we conducted an examination of which states Big 12 signees came from.
Once again, the data revealed interesting information while confirming notable trends:
This year, 45 percent of the Big 12 high-school signees came from Texas. That is considerably down from 2014, when 58 percent of the Big 12 signing class came from Texas. It's also down from 2016 (49 percent) and 2015 (50 percent), as well. There are probably several factors contributing to the drop.
