Yes we move forward but what the questions about recruits?

yes Oregon will be (in good hands with new coach Mark Helfrich) and his staff, Im sure, But I still think?? what a  Dynasty Chip Kelly had waiting in the so called wings! But NOOO he wants the bright lights!!! and IM sure he will see the brighht lights all right...what with over payed cry cry crys//// in what I call the world of pro sports!!!!

We will also see if my Kelly is as successful in the Pro level as he was in the college level?? I dont think he wil, but if anyone could?? some how ?? that would be chip, but we will see!

now the big question is where are the latest bunch of kids going to play college ball???


and are they commited to get an education?? as well as playing a sport.

I just saw the 100 list of kids  from ESPN football recruits

and where they are headed.....yes a whole new crop of kids..it never ends does it????

Our experts chime in on the
biggest questions from their regions ahead of Signing
Day.




 

What will the No. 1 prospect do?

 


Anytime you have the top prospect in the country uncommitted this late in the
process, he is a hot topic.


Robert Nkemdiche will be watched closely across the
country. Ole
Miss
is the favorite, a big favorite -- he'll visit campus this weekend --
but he is still the top prospect in the country and nothing is certain yet. He
visited Florida
this past weekend, and LSU is still hoping to receive an official visit on
the final weekend.

How will USC's
class shape up?

 


The Trojans were on pace for the best class in terms of sheer quality early
on in the recruiting cycle. But they’ve since lost a slew of commits, some to
rivals (Max Redfield to Notre Dame) and
some who just want to go through the process (Eddie Vanderdoes).


There are also a handful of commits who are taking a look at schools closer
to home, especially from the national ranks (Jason Hatcher, Jalen Ramsey and Torrodney Prevot). The Trojans did get Max Browne, Justin Davis, Su’a Cravens and Kenny Bigelow, all five-stars, to sign
intent-to-enrolls, so they’re locked in. But the question will be who else still
ends up inking with the Trojans come Signing Day.

Who will end up at the top?

 


Michigan is
No. 1 in the team rankings right now, but can the Wolverines hold off strong
challenges from Ohio State and Notre Dame?


The Wolverines still have some highly ranked guys on the board, like
five-star running back Derrick Green, but the Buckeyes and Irish also are
still in contention for several Scout 300 members. Last year, Urban Meyer was able to come in and take the Big
Ten recruiting title from Brady Hoke. Can he do it two years in a row?






Five-star
Reuben Foster's college decision will go right down to the wire.

-- Allen Trieu


 

What will Foster's final call be?

 


Reuben Foster is the biggest storyline in the
South, possibly the country. We said this even when he was previously committed:
Nothing will be final with Foster until that fax is received on Feb. 6. Will it
be Alabama, Auburn, or Georgia? Those are
the three players left in the mix. This one will go down to the wire.

-- Chad Simmons


 

Who will win the Tunsil race?

 


What will the nation’s No. 1 offensive lineman do? Laremy Tunsil has visited Alabama and Georgia so
far in January, with visits to Ole Miss and Florida State
also planned. The Dawgs and Crimson Tide have been his leaders for some time.
But pay close attention to the Seminoles as they try and make their late move.
They get his final visit. Tunsil will make his decision on Signing Day.


-- Jamie Newberg


 

Will Ty Isaac stay put?

 


There are rumblings out there that USC running back commit Ty Isaac of Joliet
Catholic Academy (Ill.) may not end up a Trojan on Signing Day. Isaac himself
has not contributed to any of these rumors, but the smoke is there. We will see
if the fire follows.


-- Allen Trieu


 

Where will Vanderdoes go?

 


There isn't a bigger prospect out West than Auburn (Calif.) Placer defensive
tackle Eddie Vanderdoes. The former USC commit has visited USC again this month
and still has trips ahead to Notre Dame and Alabama. UCLA and Washington
are heavily involved right now, and you can make a case that the big tackle
could end up at any of the above mentioned programs. He is shooting to decide by
Signing Day, but he says he could extend the process beyond Feb. 6.






Ty Isaac
is a USC commit for now ... but there's a lot of time before Signing Day.

-- Greg Biggins


 

Will Robinson stick with Texas?

 


The top uncommitted player left on the board in the Midlands is also the
top-rated defender in the region -- A'Shawn Robinson, a 6-foot-4, 310-pound defensive
tackle from Fort Worth (Texas) Arlington Heights High.


The Scout.com five-star prospect originally made a commitment to play at
Texas but has taken official visits to Florida State, USC and Alabama. He still
confirms that he is a "solid" commitment to the Longhorns -- he'll take another
visit there this weekend -- but schools will not be backing down from the chance
to land the explosive defensive tackle.


-- Greg Powers


 

Who wins in-state fight for Thomas?

 


This is your classic Miami/Florida State battle. Matthew Thomas -- a five-star recruit and the
nation’s No. 2 outside linebacker prospect -- will visit both schools this
month, and he also visited Alabama and USC in recent weeks. Still, it will
likely come down to the ‘Noles and ‘Canes, with FSU having a slight lead at this
point.


-- Jamie Newberg


 

Who will be Big 12's best?

 


It looks like there is a battle forming for the race to be considered the top
recruiting team in the Big 12.


Oklahoma
State
slipped past Texas for the No. 1 spot earlier this month with the
commitment of four-star defensive end Naim Mustafaa. Oklahoma has
since leapfrogged both rivals with a trio of commits in the past 10 days. Each
school has some more room to add recruits before Signing Day.






ALL-AMERICAN PARTY
Go inside for full coverage from the
U.S. Army, Under Armour and Semper Fi All-American games.

Army: West's top 5 | East's top 10
UA: Top
overall
| Hargreaves MVP
Semper: Top
offense
| Top defense

Currently, no team from the conference is listed among the top-10 schools in
the Scout.com national team recruiting rankings. Oklahoma is No. 15, Texas No.
16, and Oklahoma State No. 19 as of Jan. 22.


-- Greg Powers


 

Will Jack stick with UCLA?

 


Bellevue (Wash.) linebacker Myles Jack was an early commitment to UCLA, but
the hometown Washington Huskies are pushing hard. Jack will visit Washington
this weekend and will also take a trip to Oregon before Signing Day. He visited
Arizona
State
this past weekend. The Bruins will have some serious competition on
their hands to hang on to the top outside linebacker in the West.


-- Greg Biggins


 

How big will it be for FSU?

 


The Seminoles have closed as well as anyone over the past few years under
coach Jimbo Fisher. They still have a ton of guys on their big board and will
make as much noise as anyone between now and Signing Day. Will their assistant
coach departures affect the outcome on the first Wednesday in February?
Doubtful.
