Johnson surprised some with his commitment to Miami this summer, but that hasn't stopped him from taking visits. Washington, Utah, and USC have hosted him for trips over the past few months, and it's anybody's guess as to where he'll end up. He has his Miami official visit on Jan. 13, so we will all find out if Miami can keep him in the fold after that weekend.

As one of Auburn's longest-standing 2017 commitments, Ashley has been giving serious thought to flipping to Maryland. His family now lives in the Washington D.C. area, and he has made it clear that he wants to play near his family. That said, Auburn's coaches and players are extremely close with Ashley and he considers the south his home. Ashley has already taken his official visit to Maryland and will take an official visit to Auburn on Jan. 20 before shutting down his recruitment.

Herbert committed to Michigan a few months ago, but that hasn't stopped some of the local Florida schools from pursuing the massive offensive linemen. Florida and Miami look like they are in good position to possibly flip Herbert, but Michigan won't let him go without a fight. He has official visits to Miami and Florida scheduled before Signing Day, so one of those two schools could pry him away from the Wolverines.

The Gators have a pretty strong hold on Green, but he is hoping to get a couple more visits in before Signing Day. He has said North Carolina is a school he would like to take a closer look at, and the Tar Heels have shown some interest in possibly flipping him. Green also likes Michigan and would like to visit Ann Arbor.

Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre led the Buffs to their best record since 2001 and have them ranked in the top 25 of the recruiting rankings, but he is in danger of losing Polley to Texas. New Longhorns head coach Tom Herman and his new staff need to improve the Longhorns' offensive line and have targeted Polley as a potential flip candidate heading into Signing Day. Polley earned an offer from Herman's staff at Houston, so the new offer from Texas didn't come as a surprise to the three-star standout.
