***Top247 uncommitted predictions 1-27-12***

  • Friday night before National Signing Day- here are my predictions for the uncommitted in the Top247. Justin Hopkins and some of my other fellow writers are going to chime in with their take on some guys as well and you all are free to give your $0.02 here in the thread. I will probably do one of these every couple of days and then a final one the night before National Signing Day

    Dorial Green-Beckham- Arkansas- 55 % (think the Razorbacks are in good shape, but watch out for Missouri (he's there now) and you can't count Texas or Oklahoma out)
    Arik Armstead- Oregon 70 % (don't count out Notre Dame, Auburn or the field, though)
    Stefon Diggs- Ohio State 51 % (still has visits to take, announcing later)
    Kyle Murphy- Stanford 80 % (was told the Cardinal are in great shape- great OL class)
    Eddie Goldman- Florida State 60 % (Noles are in good shape)
    Ronald Darby- Auburn 50.1 % (Both Florida State and Auburn feel good)
    Darius Hamilton- Rutgers 51 % (Florida could easily land him, though- who knows with Schiano thing)
    Nelson Agholor- USC 53 % (Trojans have been trending here, but it could change with the visit)
    Josh Harvey-Clemons- UGA 51 % (Florida and FSU also feel good)
    Devin Fuller- Rutgers 52 % (Still think he stays close to home but Big Red and Arizona are pushing)
    Tracy Howard- Florida 60 % (Miami is a sleeper here)
    Thomas Johnson- Texas A&M 51 % (Oregon and TCU also are in it, but we think Aggies)
    Leonard Williams- USC 55 % (Could be another late Florida steal for the Trojans)
    Davonte Neal- Ohio State 51 % (after National Signing Day- could be anywhere- Buckeyes in the end?)
    Andrus Peat- Nebraska 55 % (watch out for USC, though)
    Jordan Diamond- Michigan 65 % (Wolverines have been trending here and nail one of their big OL targets)
    Aziz Shittu- Stanford 90 % (May have been different had Tosh Lupoi not left Cal)
    Armani Reeves- Ohio State 50.1 % (Seriously torn between the Buckeyes and Wolverines. I think his friendship with Camren Williams may put OSU over the top, but why hasn't he just ended it if that's the deciding factor?)
    Jeremy Liggins- Ole Miss 95 % (announcing in Oxford on the town square- would take guts to pick Mississippi State or other)
    Kwon Alexander- Auburn 65 % (just can't see him going anywhere else- maybe I will be surprised)
    Zach Banner- USC 70 % (Trojans have felt good about this one for a while)
    Wayne Morgan- Syracuse 75 % (Orange will top Connecticut for the best in NYC in this class)
    Raymond Ford- Utah 50.1 % (sort of a mystery where he ends up- dwindling options)
    Jamal Marcus- East Carolina 52 % (what I was told)
    Joel Caleb- Virginia Tech 70 % (Hokies have been in great shape for the last month or so- WVU made a run)
    Jaydon Mickens- Oklahoma State 55 % (Give the edge to the Pokes here because of his visit and their offense)
    Korren Kirven- Tennessee 55 % (Vols are trending- he's supposed to be in Blacksburg this weekend, though)
    Ken Ekanem- Virginia Tech 90 % (I would be stunned if he did not pick the Hokies)
    D.J. Reader- Clemson 52 % (Tigers vs. Tar Heels)
    Ricardo Louis- Auburn 95 % (The only reason it's not higher is he's gone back and forth before)
    Kyle Dodson- Ohio State 55% (In the end, he stays at home, IMHO)
    Quinshad Davis- Tennessee 55 % (I think the Vols nail it down this weekend, but don't count Wake Forest out)

    They made a nice run for sure, but unless he left for a Florida school or a USC or Oklahoma I think the choice in his general proximity has always been the Hokies.

  • JC do you think Auburn still has a chance with Leonard Williams?

  • What's the latest on Kyle Dodson?

    What sanctions? Our 75 are better than your 85.

  • I don't think Armani Reeves goes to OSU because if he was going to why didn't he just commit earlier? Also Brent Williams (Cam's father) has reiterated that they are not a package deal.

    You are way off this one.

    Hopefully you just made this up and a source really didn't get you to put this as a prediction.

    If he was going to Michigan why wouldn't of he commited after mattisons in home visit the other day. I think the kid is torn between the 2. GO BUCKS

  • Caleb choosing VT is a terrible decision

    They never use their WR effectively

    And WVU and OSU have offenses that would showcase his skillset

    Lulz if he picks VT

    Different circumstances. With OSU he visited and has Cam Williams in for the in-home and he still didn't commit.

  • Nice predictions for Ohio State! buckeyes

    What makes you feel tOSU leads for Diggs or what makes you feel he chooses the Buckeyes?

    BTW, I hope you're right!!

    Always borrow money from a pessimist; he won't expect it back.

    You're not thinking deep enough in to the mind of Reeves. Michigan contacted him long before OSU. He was essentially a Michigan lock before OSU contacted him. He developed a very strong relationship with Mattison and doesn't want to disappoint him by going to OSU but he also wants to play with his best friend, Spence and the other friends he made from the Penn State recruiting so he also doesn't want to disappoint them by going to Michigan. He's basically torn whether to play for a coach he developed strong ties with or with the friends he made at OSU. I truly think that he's not leaning one way or the other right now. Also, OSU has the exact major he wants and Michigan doesn't and he's a smart kid and knows that education is more important than football based on his tweets a few days ago. But, Michigan is also a top academic school. I have no idea where he's gonna go but can only hope he goes Buckeye.

    I know that was my point, if his friendships were such a major role in his recruitment he would've committed when Meyer visited. Whatever we should find out tomorrow, hopefully he chooses Michigan.

  • Banner, Agholor, and Leonard Williams would be great. All we need to add to that is Peat.

    Yeah but it's the same thing with Mattison, which I believe is the only reason he hasn't committed to OSU already. If he liked Mattison that much, he would have committed to you guys already because he is more of an individual than people think he is.

    He has the long time connection with Mattison but he also is really close with our DBs coach Curt Mallory. We will have to wait and see to know if he chose his friends or a university.
