Francois still on the fence
The nation's No. 8-ranked quarterback, 2015 four-star recruit Deondre Francois of Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy said he'll likely decide this month between Florida State, Auburn, Oregon and Notre Dame, but still take his five official visits during the fall.
Francois was on his second visit to Florida State and plans on making his second visit to Auburn on Sunday.

"I wanted to come here twice and I'm going to make it fair and go to Auburn twice," he said. "Then I'll make my decision."
He has yet to visit Oregon and Notre Dame but will likely announce his decision before ever visiting those schools.
"It doesn't work to their advantage at all but it is what it is," said Francois, who was in Oregon for The Opening, but cancelled his visit to meet with the Ducks because he said he was tired. "I'll get up there when I can. I'm hoping to get up there this fall."
Along with Notre Dame, Oregon figures to be an official visit and Francois said Florida State and Auburn would get the other two visits, with a fifth school to enter the mix later. However, when Francois announces his school, he said his commitment will be firm.
"It might sound weird, but I'll be 100 percent and still take my visits," he said. "The school I commit to is probably the school I feel most at home, where I can see myself the next four years."
