White's recruitment has essentially been narrowed down to Georgia, Clemson, and Ohio State for some time. Clemson seemed to be the leader early on in his recruitment, but over the past few months it looks like Georgia has moved into the lead position. White took recent visits to Clemson, Georgia, and Ohio State. The return visit to Ohio State is very telling and the Buckeyes could be a wild card here. White loves the atmosphere and coaching in Columbus, but the proximity to home, relationships, and playing time in Athens should help the Bulldogs win out.
Prediction: Georgia
Adams' top five is loaded with major programs that could all use his exceptional talents. Alabama, Ohio State, North Carolina, Clemson, and LSU all have great wide receiver traditions, but this is coming down to Clemson and North Carolina. Alabama will be getting a visit some time this summer, but right now the Tar Heels have a leg up on the field. Adams' father, Deke Adams, is the defensive line coach at North Carolina and the younger Adams has been spending a lot of time on campus becoming familiar with the environment and developing that feeling of home so many recruits talk about.
Prediction: North Carolina
The top contenders for Jones are Ohio State and Penn State with the Buckeyes holding down the top spot essentially from day one. He took a recent visit to Penn State and really enjoyed talking to the coaching staff and seeing what the program is all about. It's going to be tough for Penn State to overcome Ohio State's sizeable lead. The Buckeyes have a strong tradition with players from Erasmus Hall including Curtis Samuel and Jahsen Wint.
Prediction: Ohio State
Booker tries to stay off the radar for the most part, but the schools linked with him the most are Notre Dame, Maryland, Clemson, Ohio State, and Michigan. Notre Dame's overall tradition and need for defensive linemen really intrigue Booker and the academic opportunities at Notre Dame are very attractive to him. Clemson has been working hard to move up Booker's list. The coaches are putting some pressure on him and he has been receiving a lot of attention on social media for his Clemson posts. Maryland, Ohio State, and Michigan are a bit on the outside right now but certainly not ruled out. One to keep an eye on is Stanford. The Cardinal haven't offered yet, but things could move quickly if they do. Booker spent a lot of time at Stanford last summer and would be eager to jump on the offer if it comes.
Prediction: Notre Dame…unless Stanford offers
George just released a top 10 of Penn State, North Carolina, N.C. State, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Maryland, Louisville, Vanderbilt, Wisconsin, and Kentucky but really only a handful have a good shot at landing his commitment. Penn State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, and Maryland seem like they are the major contenders. Penn State probably has the best shot right now, but George wants to take more visits before announcing any sort of commitment.
Prediction: Penn State
