The skinny: Maryland, Notre Dame, Northwestern, Oregon and Michigan are all in the mix, according to Brooks, although it’s unclear if the Wolverines will have room. He has upcoming officials set to Northwestern, Oregon and Notre Dame and has been to Maryland many times.

The prediction: Maryland. Notre Dame was where he wanted to go initially, but it turned him away. ND could get back in here and steal him, but he might be a bit gun-shy now and stay home.

The skinny: Dixon was originally committed to Georgia and has taken official visits to Ole Miss, Louisville and TCU already. He’s down to Ole Miss and Louisville and there has been buzz about both programs.

The prediction: Ole Miss. While Louisville had the early buzz this week, it has turned to Ole Miss. This could go back and forth, but I’ll go with the Rebels.

The skinny: Jones is wide open and mentions many teams, but we know he will take an official to Florida the weekend of Jan. 13 and will likely take an official to Florida State. Texas A&M, UCLA and USC are also mentioned but this comes down to the two Florida programs.

The prediction: Florida. The connection with his father having played under Randy Shannon could win the day here, although he has a great relationship with assistant coach Scott White at UCLA and FSU has been rumored to be a leader.

The skinny: Proctor is down to Penn State, Pitt and Virginia Tech, but it’s unlikely the Nittany Lions will have room, so this should come down to the Panthers and Hokies. He will announce this weekend, but will take officials to Pitt and Virginia Tech anyhow so it could be a soft commit.

The prediction: Virginia Tech. It’s a tough call between the Hokies and Panthers but he likes defensive coordinator Bud Foster’s style better.

The skinny: Pola-Mao is down to Washington, Notre Dame, Arizona State and USC, at least as far as I know because he doesn’t talk much, and staying home could be the lure.

The prediction: Arizona State. There are tempting options elsewhere, but he strikes me as a kid who will stay home.
