Some things get better with age, others don't.
And so it was when ESPN re-graded Big 12 football recruiting classes from 2012.
Most of the Big 12 classes received higher grades upon further review. Here's a rundown.
Baylor
Top signees: WR Corey Coleman, RB Shock Linwood, QB Seth Russell, LB Eddie Lackey, C Kyle Fuller
2012 grade: B-
2016 grade: A
Oklahoma
Top signees: WR Sterling Shepard, LB Eric Striker, CB Zack Sanchez, DE Charles Tapper, QB Trevor Knight
2012 grade: B+
2016 grade: A
TCU
Top signees: S Derrick Kindred, K Jaden Oberkrom, OT Halapoulivaati Vaitai, C Joey Hunt, DE Josh Carraway
2012 grade: B-
2016 grade: B+
Texas
Top signees: DT Malcom Brown, DT Hassan Ridgeway, CB Duke Thomas, RB Johnathan Gray, LB Peter Jinkens

Texas Tech

So if it appears the re-grades reflect the 2015 conference standings, they do.
