The ESPNU 150 for the Class of 2010 has been released and Big 12 schools have fared well in early commitments.

 

Texas has snagged 10 early commitments to lead the country, followed by nine for Florida and seven by LSU.

 

The South Division's domination over the North has continued into early recruiting with 18 of 19 Big 12 commitments headed to South schools.

 

Oklahoma has four commitments, Texas A&M has three and Baylor and Nebraska have one apiece.

 

The Baylor commitment of Waco native Ahmad Dixon, the nation's No. 15 player who turned down Texas to stay at home, indicates the growing recruiting prowess of Coach Art Briles.

 

Here's a look at the Big 12 representatives on the list:

 

Texas: No. 14 Taylor Bible, DT, Denton (John H. Guyer), Texas; No. 44 Ashton Dorsey, DT Tyler (John Tyler), Texas; No. 51 Aaron Benson, OLB, Cedar Hills, Texas; No. 73 Chris Jones, WR, Daingerfield, Texas; No. 100 Reggie Wilson, DE, Haltom City, Texas; No. 104 Adrian White, CB, DeSoto, Texas; No. 105 Tevin Jackson, OLB, Garland, Texas; No. 121, Carrington Byndom, CB, Lufkin, Texas; No. 128 Adrian Phillips, ATH, Garland, Texas; No. 141, Trey Hopkins, G, Houston (North Shore).

 

Oklahoma: No. 67 Blake Bell, QB, Wichita (Bishop Carroll), Kan.; No. 80 Quentin Hayes, S, Lancaster, Texas; No. 124 Sheldon McClain, WR, Cibolo (Byron M. Steele), Texas; No. 125 Brennan Clay, RB, San Diego (Scripps Ranch), Calif.

 

Texas A&M: No. 46 Corey Nelson, OLB, Dallas (Skyline); No. 66 Jake Matthews, OT, Missouri City (Lawrence E. Elkins), Texas; No. 87 Luke Joeckel, OT, Arlington, Texas.

 

Baylor: No. 15 Ahmad Dixon, S, Waco (Midway), Texas.

 

Nebraska: No. 109 Andrew Rodriguez, G, Aurora, Neb.

 

Both Texas and Oklahoma hope to improve their classes as they remain in the hunt for several other top prospects.

 

The Longhorns and Sooners are among the finalists for the No. 1 ESPNU 150 prospect, Jackson Jeffcoat, a defensive end from West High School in Plano, Texas, and the No. 2 prospect, Jordan Hicks, an outside linebacker from West Chester, Ohio.

 

And the Sooners are also among the finalists for the No. 4 prospect, Seantrel Henderson, a massive tackle from Cretin-Durham High School of St. Paul, Minn., and No. 6 prospect Michael Dyer, a running back from Little Rock Christian Academy.

 

Texas Longhorns, Florida Gators, LSU Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, Texas A&M Aggies, Baylor Bears, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Taylor Bible, Ashton Dorsey, Aaron Benson, Chris Jones, Reggie Wilson, Adrian White, Tevin Jackson, Carrington Byndom, Adrian Phillips, Trey Hopkins, Blake Bell, Quentin Hayes, Sheldon McClain, Brennan Clay, Corey Nelson, Jake Matthews, Luke Joeckel, Ahmad Dixon, Andrew Rodriguez, Jackson Jeffcoat, Jordan Hicks, Seantrel Henderson, Michael Dyer, Art Briles
