UA Game: Top 10 uncommitted

Adam Gorney

Recruiting Analyst

Current state of recruitment: Davis shies away from announcing anything concrete but Alabama and Georgia seem to be the most likely landing spots for the five-star linebacker. He seems legitimately torn between the programs, as the Bulldogs have closed the gap in recent weeks.

Prediction: A slight nod to Alabama here, if only because pulling a top prospect out of the state has been so difficult in recent years. That said, the Bulldogs are very much in play.

Rahshaun Smith

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy

Current state of recruitment: Smith, a former Clemson commit, officially visited Oregon, Auburn, Maryland, LSU and Clemson. He originally named a top four of Auburn, Clemson, Maryland and LSU, but Smith dropped Maryland from the list when his former coach and trainer, Cory Robinson, who was the director of player personnel at Maryland, left to pursue other opportunities. He is expected to commit at the Under Armour All-America Game on Jan. 2.

Prediction: The general consensus is that Smith will commit to Clemson when he announces for the second time. Auburn and LSU are still recruiting him as hard as possible but his relationships at Clemson seem to be too strong and he fits in their system almost perfectly.

Lyndell Wilson

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy

Current state of recruitment: Wilson says that Florida leads his recruitment. Alabama, Georgia, LSU and USC are also near the top of his list. His upcoming official visits will likely determine his landing place.

Prediction: Wilson's upcoming visit tour could shake things up dramatically, but it seems like Florida and Alabama will square off for his services. Alabama is thought to hold a slight edge simply because of the in-state pull.

Nate Craig-Myers

Tampa (Fla.) Tampa Catholic

Current state of recruitment: A one-time Auburn commit, the Tigers remain in play for Craig-Myers. North Carolina, Florida and Florida State are also heavily in the mix. Craig-Myers' recruitment seems to change often and reverse course quickly.

Prediction: Not long ago, Florida seemed like the solid leader to land Craig-Myers, but the Seminoles have come on strong as of late. If forced to handicap things now, FSU would hold a slight edge.

Terrell Hall

Washington (D.C.) St. John's College High

Current state of his recruitment: A lot has changed in Hall's recruitment since the coaching carousel started spinning. He was close with Kirby Smart and Aazaar Abdul-Rahim when they were both at Alabama but now Smart is at Georgia and Abudl-Rahim is at Maryland. Hall took official visits to Florida in September and Florida State on Dec. 11. He is expected to take official visits to Alabama and Ole Miss in January. Arizona State, UCLA, and Maryland are all candidates for his last official visit.

Prediction: Alabama had been the clear leader for Hall for months but coaches relocating and his official visit to Florida State have muddied the waters. The Seminoles blew Hall away and right now it looks like they are either tied with or just behind Alabama at the top of Hall's list. There is some momentum behind Maryland because of the staff additions. People should definitely keep an eye on the Terps as we move toward Signing Day. Ole Miss has been on fire lately so Hall's recruitment could change drastically. If today were Signing Day I think Hall would sign with Alabama.

Nigel Knott

Madison (Miss.) Germantown

Current state of recruiting: Knott nearly committed to Florida State once, and the Seminoles remain in the mix. Ole Miss, Alabama and Mississippi State join FSU, USC and Oregon at the top of Knott's list. He has named no leader in the process and claims to be seriously considering all aforementioned schools.

Prediction: Alabama and Florida State seem like the favorites here. Alabama likely holds a slight edge, but Knott to the Tide is not a sure thing just yet.

Drake Davis

Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy

Current state of recruiting: Davis' recruitment is relatively simple. The four-star wide receiver has been down to LSU and Ole Miss for some time now. For a time, he seemed torn between the programs, but his friend and teammate Shea Patterson may tip the scales in favor of the Rebels.

Prediction: As things stand now, Davis seems to be learning toward picking Ole Miss.

Brandon Jones

Nacogdoches (Texas) Nacogdoches

Current state of recruitment: Jones has taken unofficial visits to Texas A&M, Baylor and Texas during the 2015 season and he was visited in home by Baylor, Oregon, Texas and Texas A&M during the contact period. He took his first official visit to Texas A&M in December and he is planning to visit Texas and Oregon in January. He plans to decide on Signing Day.

Prediction: Texas A&M was the first to offer and has been the favorite or among the leaders ever since. It looks like it will come down to an in-state battle between Texas and Texas A&M, and it is hard to pick against the Aggies, who have been high on his list from the beginning.

Terrance Davis

Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha

Current state of his recruitment: For a very long time Michigan has been Davis' favorite and the other day he announced that his final three schools are Michigan, Maryland and Florida. The only official visit Davis took was to Michigan for the Ohio State game but he also had official visits to Alabama and UCLA planned in January. Davis also took an unofficial visit to Maryland after D.J. Durkin was hired. He is set to announce during the Under Armour All-America Game on Jan. 2.

Prediction: The momentum is behind Maryland right now but Michigan is still in the best position to land Davis' commitment. The Wolverines have built a very strong relationship with Davis but he has more ties to Maryland and their recruiting class. The Terps already got a commitment from Rivals250 offensive lineman Richard Merritt without having an offensive line coach on staff so landing Davis without one isn't out of the realm of possibility.
