USC fans may feel more encouraged by Lewis’ long-term commitment after Georgia was basically eliminated after the Bulldogs picked up the four-star QB’s commitment Ryan Montgomerybut a big month of visits is still coming.
The Carrollton, Georgia standout will see Indiana within a few weeks, mainly because of his relationship with the position coach Tino Sunseri, along with Auburn, Colorado It is Alabama. He will be back at USC at the beginning of the month.
Some still believe Lewis won’t shut down the Trojans, but it would be a big surprise right now as Georgia appears to be out of the question.

The five-star receiver has said countless times that he’s stuck with LSU but two shows in particular don’t give up – and they’re worth watching.
No team is recruiting elite receivers better than Ohio State and the standout from Duncanville, Texas, continues to show interest in the Buckeyes. Texas would be the other, as it’s closer to home and the offense is perfectly suited to Moore’s abilities. LSU still looks very strong, but others haven’t backed down.

After surprisingly switching from Georgia to USC in March, the first call he received was from the coach Smart Kirbywho didn’t try to convince him to back out, but slowly restarted the recruiting process and worked to bring Terry back to Athens.
This was a brilliant move by the Georgia coach, as there is a history of Georgia State players who came to USC, loved it, but ultimately decided that playing for the Bulldogs was the right decision. We’ll see if Terry decides the same.

Three days before Christmas, Thomas committed to State of Florida and it appeared that five-star Jacksonville (Florida) interior lineman Raines was done recruiting. Thomas loves coach Mike Norvell and position coach Alex Atkins but there is no doubt Florida continues to intrigue Thomas and his mother (who is heavily involved in recruiting). Some are sure the Gators have a real chance to take him down.
UF’s coaching staff is a huge selling point for the five-star, but if there is another disappointing season in Gainesville, how will that affect his recruitment before signing day?

The four-star quarterback has been committed to Texas since June and hasn’t shown any serious indication that he’s considering a move despite numerous visits elsewhere, so this still looks pretty good for Texas.
The question is whether the Longhorns staff thinks Duncanville Q.B. Keelon Russell is too good to pass up and they decide to offer, one would expect Russell to change his position SMU. If that happens, what would Lacey’s backup plan be? Brown? Alabama
Would that reopen everything to him?

There was so much talk about Auburn and Florida State in Henderson’s recruitment that it was a bit lost that the four-star running back from Elba, Alabama, had developed such a strong relationship with his position coach. Ja’Juan Seider at the Penn State as Henderson committed to the Nittany Lions last month.
The four-star also loves the opportunity and tradition of running back at Happy Valley. But as signing day gets closer and closer, will the stay-at-home draw be too big?

USC did a phenomenal job in the early spring of getting elite prospects from the Southeast to come visit and commit, as Stubbs was one of them along with Terry and four-star defensive end Isaiah Gibson. The question now is whether the Trojans will be able to keep and sign them in December.
Four-star defensive back from Jacksonville (Florida) Mandarin spoke highly of Florida early in his recruitment and now he has proven himself to be one of the best safeties in the country. Therefore, all the powers in the Southeast will not let him cross the country easily.

The four-star left-handed quarterback committed to Notre Dame in September and said it was for several reasons, on and off the field. But now Knight will have to make a final choice: stay with the Irish or consider programs in the Southeast, particularly old lady.
The Rebels don’t have a QB commitment in this class and are coming in strong after Lucedale (Miss.) George County standout.
