How did Texas, OU, and the rest of the Big 12 teams miss on Josh Jacobs?

From what I have read, he wasn't even much recruited by major programs.

It's early yet, but he looks like he's going to be a very good rb for Alabama. Not sure why he was so much under the radar.

The Big 12 very seldom uses running backs.

Jacobs looked all kinds of good yesterday. Runs a lot like Mark Ingram

You probably haven't really looked at the running backs in the Big 12. They have a lot of great running back's and more highly regarded running backs too.

OU, BU, TCU and Texas have a bunch of great backs. Even Oklahoma State has Barry Sanders Jr.

Now that you mention it, I think a couple of the recruiting services had Ingram a 3 star prospect.
