THE SCOOP: Rivals100 all-purpose back Chris Tyree released a top ten in early December and he has already visited every school that made the cut except Oklahoma. Keep an eye on Mississippi State, Stanford, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma because they are in the best position right now. Other than a visit to Oklahoma, Tyree has not planned any additional visits or thought about a commitment timeline.

THE QUOTE: "I know for sure the only visit I'm focused on right now is to Oklahoma, because that's the only school in my top ten that I haven't visited yet. It'll probably be for their spring game. Mississippi State, Stanford, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Oklahoma are the ones that stand out the most right now.

THE SCOOP: Marcus Henderson named his top 12 schools on New Year's Eve, so he is still evaluating his options. He said that Alabama and Ohio State are two schools that will definitely be there until the end, and Tennessee likely will, too. He plans to visit those three schools again soon.

THE QUOTE: "I am in no rush to make a decision. I will announce my decision the late signing day of my senior year."

*****

THE SCOOP: Jaiden Francois, who had 12 interceptions this season, named a top three of Miami, Ohio State and Georgia. He has a junior day visit to Ohio State on his calendar and is the process of booking his travel. Francois’ high school teammate, Keshawn Washington, is already committed to the Hurricanes, which may help Miami in its pursuit of the four-star prospect.

THE QUOTE: “I like everything about Ohio State and I like what Urban Meyer has built there. I like (assistant head) coach Tony Alford.”

*****

*****

Alabama and Georgia are locks to make that first cut, and teams like Ohio State, Tennessee, North Carolina, NC State, Michigan, Penn State, South Carolina, Clemson and a few others are in good shape to make that list, too. A decision from Cowan isn't close. He will take a number of visits in the spring, but he doesn't know where yet.

THE QUOTE: "I'm going to sit down with my family and narrow things down and talk to my family. Once my list comes out I'll consider those schools' priorities for my visits. I'll try to keep myself available to other schools."

*****

THE SCOOP: Harris has offers to play both football and basketball at the college level, but says he has not chosen a path as things stand.

Arizona and Texas A&M are also considered to be serious players.

THE QUOTE: “I don’t have a leader. It’s hard right now, because all these coaches are coming at me so fast. I’m just trying to be myself around them.”

*****

THE SCOOP: Demarkcus Bowman was once a seen as an early Georgia lean, but now says he has no favorite in the process. That said, his high school routinely sends its top players to Florida, so the Gators will always be a player here. The four-star running back, who arrived at Future 50 registration in a blue Florida T-shirt, is set to attend a junior day at Florida State this month, which may allow the Seminoles to join the thick of his recruitment.

THE QUOTE: “I don’t really have a leader anymore. I mean, Florida has the pipeline, but I don’t really have a leader.”

*****

THE SCOOP: There is really no story right now with Bryce Young. He is committed to USC and is locked in with the Trojans. He is not planning to throw this week because he is a little banged up.

QUOTE: "I grew up a UCLA fan, but they have never been too involved. I am solid with USC."

*****

THE SCOOP: RJ Mickens is one of the highest-rated unsigned prospects in the country and the defensive back is hearing from more than a few schools. Clemson, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Florida, Oregon, Texas A&M, and Michigan are just a few of the schools that are actively recruiting him, and he really wants to visit Clemson, Notre Dame, and Alabama again. Expect a short list of about 10 schools from Mickens prior to spring practice.

THE QUOTE: "I talk to (defensive backs) coach (Mike) Reed from Clemson pretty frequently. He's a great dude. I've also been talking to (outside linebackers) coach Donte (Williams) from Oregon a lot. He's a good dude. I also talk to coach Ryan Day from Ohio State."

*****

THE SCOOP: Four-star wide receiver Michael Redding has yet to set up junior day visits and names no favorite in his process.

THE QUOTE: “Florida State is my dream school. They were the first school I ever liked.”

*****

THE SCOOP: Rivals250 all-purpose running back Michael Drennen is hoping to make a decision in the summer. Miami, Florida, USC, Penn State and North Carolina are some of the schools he wants to visit this spring. Penn State and Michigan have been doing a great job with him, but his best coaching relationship is with Tony Alford from Ohio State.

THE QUOTE: "I just like Michigan. I'm not sure why but I do. I like Penn State because of their running backs like Saquon Barkley, and I just want to be like them.

THE QUOTE: "I know Georgia, Penn State and Auburn will be in my top five. I have not visited Penn State yet, but I am hoping to in the next couple of months. I will base my decision off playing time, how I fit into the school and the offensive style."

*****

THE QUOTE: "I always wanted to go to LSU, so I felt like it was a decision I needed to make. I thought to myself; why take time and act like I didn't know when I knew where I wanted to go. I do not plan to visit other schools."

*****

THE SCOOP: Five-star cornerback Fred Davis has already scheduled a trip to Clemson for the Tigers’ junior day in the coming month and plans to visit a long list of other schools that are yet to be set in stone. He names no favorite in the process and tosses out an almost laughably long list of colleges when he asked which programs are most involved with him as things stand . Davis’ list includes school such as Texas, Oklahoma, Florida State, Florida, Miami, Penn State, Clemson and Alabama.

*****

Fleming is closer with those two coaching staffs than any of the other schools in his top 10. He wants to visit LSU, USC, Michigan and Florida before narrowing his list down any further. Fleming wants to make a decision right before or after next football season and will enroll early.

THE QUOTE: "I've been to Penn State a lot of times and they come to see me any chance they get. Penn State is great and it's close but the other part of me is like 'why stay in Pennsylvania my whole life?' There are so many opportunities to get out of that area."
