ESPN's RecruitNation released their first ESPN 300 rankings earlier today.  David Ubben also had a post today in which he put together a list of all the Big 12 prospects included on the list along with a couple of his thoughts.  Below is that list.

No. 74: Davion Hall, ATH, Baylor
No. 79: Derick Roberson, DE, Texas
No. 97: Justice Hansen, QB-DT, Oklahoma
No. 103: Kyron Watson, LB, Kansas
No. 138: Jerrod Heard, QB-DT, Texas
No. 162: Mason Rudolph, QB-PP, Oklahoma State
No. 165: Jermaine Roberts, CB, Texas
No. 172: Otaro Alaka, OLB, Texas
No. 199: Dallis Todd, WR, Oklahoma
No. 202: Devon Thomas, RB, Oklahoma State
No. 214: Gyasi Akem, OLB, Oklahoma State
No. 222: Samaje Perine, RB, Oklahoma
No. 224: Allen Lazard, WR, Iowa State
No. 231: James David, OLB, Baylor
No. 237: Lorenzo Joe, ATH, Texas
No. 247: Donald Catalon, RB, Texas
No. 282: Carson Meier, TE-Y, Oklahoma

• Not surprised with Davion Hall being on top of this list.  He's pretty much at or near the top according to the other recruiting services.
• Justice Hansen is higher on this list that almost all the others.
• Rivals is MUCH higher on WR Allen Lazard than all other services.  They have him almost 200 spots higher at #25 overall and the top recevier in the nation.
• Kyron Watson is pretty high on this list too, he's in the 300s on the 247Composite.
• I had both Donald "Duke" Catalon and Kansas commit Traevohn Wrench (who isn't on the list) #1 and #2 on my RB rankings ahead of Devon Thomas and Samaje Perine.
• Baylor has two really good LB commits in James David (#231 on ESPN) and T'Kevian Rockwell (#230 on Top247).
