Two stand out for Judge
Cameron Judge plans to narrow his extensive list to five schools by the end of this month and he's sure of two that will make the list.
The Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian linebacker said at the Southern Cal Rivals.com Showcase Powered by FBU Select this past weekend at his high school that UCLA and Arizona are almost definitely making the cut and then he'll figure the others out soon.

"I've been to the campus a lot and I have a good feel for the school already," Judge said of UCLA.
"That's probably the leading factor. I haven't talked to a recruiter in a couple weeks so they're not pushing anything. Location is a positive but it's nothing that I'm basing my decision on.
"I was just at (Arizona's) campus a month or so ago. I like the campus a lot and I like the feel of the environment of their school. It's nice there."
Judge, a 6-foot-2, 200-pound three-star outside linebacker, said if Oregon or USC offered those two programs would immediately move to his top five.
In total, Judge lists offers from Arizona, Arizona State, Boise State, Boston College, Duke, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oregon State, Purdue, San Diego State, Texas A&M, UCLA, Utah, Vanderbilt and Washington State.
"If I got offered by Oregon they would jump into the top five and USC would be in the top five," Judge said. "That's probably four of the five right there."
No decision is expected for a while. Judge said he wants to take official visits first and then make his commitment later on in the recruiting process.
