LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — There are some talented prospects competing this week at the Under Armour All-America Game that are committed to a school, but chose not to sign during the Early Signing Period. What does that mean? It likely means their minds are not 100-percent made up and they will give other schools more time to recruit them.

We look at five who are flip candidates between now and National Signing Day on Feb. 7.

COMMITTED TO: Alabama

THE SITUATION: Walker has been committed to Alabama since June and the odds of him staying with the Tide do not look to be great. Auburn, Florida and Georgia will receive official visits in January and Tennessee could receive one as well. He does not plan to take one to Alabama. He saw his former teammate, Markaviest Bryant, sign with Auburn in 2017, he grew up a fan of the Gators and the Dawgs are the home-state team, so Nick Saban has a lot to worry about here.


COMMITTED TO: Auburn

THE SITUATION: Should Auburn worry about Hill? Yes. Clemson is a true threat here and when Hill decided not to sign with Auburn during the Early Signing Period, it showed just how serious he is about Clemson. Hill is not looking at another schools, so we know he will be a Tiger, but will he a Tiger in the ACC or SEC? Auburn wants him on offense while Clemson wants him on defense, so it could come down to the position he feels could take him the furthest.

COMMITTED TO: Auburn

THE SITUATION: Alabama is out, so Auburn does not have to worry about its in-state rival here, but with Jeremy Pruitt leaving the Tide for Tennessee, the Vols have become a player. Florida was at one time the leader for Miller too, and he now plans to take an official visit to Gainesville in January. Oregon is a school mentioned too, but look for Miller to stay in the South. Auburn still seems to be in a very good place here to hold on to Miller, but when kids take visits, anything is possible.

COMMITTED TO: Florida State

THE SITUATION: There was a lot of chatter about Meadows re-opening his recruitment early in December when Jimbo Fisher announced he was leaving Florida State. Willie Taggart did a good job of convincing Meadows he is still a priority for the Seminoles, but Louisville and Miami have given him a lot to consider. Auburn, Florida and UCF are involved here too. It will be a very busy January and early February for Meadows and Florida State will have to work very hard to keep Meadows in this class. Miami is his No. 2 school right now, but numerous schools still have a realistic chance here.

COMMITTED TO: Florida

THE SITUATION: Being from the Sunshine State and committed to the Gators, but not taking an official visit to Florida in January just does not seem right. He says all of the right things, but Gouriage seems to be trending away from Florida a little. Auburn and Clemson will receive official visits next month, but what about Florida? He does not plan to take one to the school he is currently committed to right now, so how strong is Gouriage to the Gators? Only time will tell, but it appears Florida has a lot of work to do if it plans on keeping this four-star offensive tackle home.
