Southeast Spotlight: Predictions for five top unsigned prospects
Here are the five biggest recruitments remaining in the Southeast region and our prediction on where those prospects will sign heading into the National Signing Day on Feb. 7.
TOP UNSIGNED PROSPECTS BY POSITION: QB | RB | WR | OL | DL | LB | DB
Chase's recruitment has been filled with twists and turns as he's already been committed to Kansas and Florida and he nearly committed to TCU over the summer. Now he appears focused on Michigan, TCU and LSU and just returned home from an official visit to Baton Rouge. While he and the Tigers have looked elsewhere during stretches of the 2018 cycle, it appears the two sides have realized they're better off together than apart. I expect Chase to end up staying close to home with the Tigers.
Prediction: LSU
It is down to Alabama, Auburn and Clemson for the five-star wide receiver and he has visits to Alabama and Auburn set for the next two weekends. Ross took his official visit to Clemson during the season and the Tigers have really been trending since. Alabama is the school many are talking about behind the scenes and you cannot rule Auburn out either. Clemson still seems to be a in a good spot with Alabama currently running No. 2.
Prediction: Clemson
Even though Walker has been committed to Alabama for seven months, his recruitment may have some drama left. Walker is fresh off a visit Tennessee and the Vols made a big move in this race. Alabama will have him on campus this weekend and although it looks like he will not end up in Tuscaloosa, you can never rule the Tide out. Georgia was once thought to be Alabama's biggest threat and the Bulldogs will receive an official visit still, but the Vols have some real momentum right now. This one could be one of the more entertaining finishes this cycle.
Prediction: Tennessee
Reese is fresh off an official visit to Central Michigan, the school his brother attends, but all signs point to this being a Michigan-Georgia battle through Signing Day. He is a longtime Wolverine commit and he will spend this weekend in Ann Arbor. This will be a big visit. His visit to Georgia as of right now is set for the weekend before Signing Day, but that could move up a week. LSU is a school hoping to receive a visit as well. It you go off of visits, Georgia is the school trending being that Reese has visited Athens over half a dozen times since his last visit to Ann Arbor.
Prediction: Georgia
Auburn just had Wonnum on campus over the weekend and the Tigers are viewed as one of his top two schools. South Carolina is the other one and the Gamecocks will host him this weekend. LSU and Tennessee are also still being considered for visits, but it is hard to see Wonnum not signing with Auburn or South Carolina. He makes it clear that this will be his decision, but seeing his brother do well in Columbia and having the chance to play with him for at least one year there makes the Gamecocks tough to beat.
Prediction: South Carolina
