Get the scoop on your team:

Less than a week from National Signing Day, battles for the top uncommitted

prospects are coming down to the wire. Just as important, coaching staffs are

working to make sure they hold on to their current commitments.

So closing the deal during late official visits is key, and there are plenty of

big weekends on tap. Here is a look at some of the top storylines developing

around visit weekends across the country.

Official Visit Weekend Preview:

Jan. 31, 2014

down to Florida or Maryland for the state of Maryland's top

prospect, Damian Prince. All signs point to this being a legitimate

toss-up, with the folks in Gainesville benefitting from the five-star's final

visit. Prince's best friend,

Jalen Tabor, chose Florida over Randy Edsall's bunch but that doesn't necessarily discount the third-year head

coach's chances. Maryland's top prepster a year ago, Stefon Diggs,

surprised many when he decided to stay home.

Ohio State is able to land

Malik McDowell, Sparty may counter with Rivals100 offensive lineman

Jamarco Jones. The four-star prospect has been committed to Ohio State

since June but with Mike Vrabel departing for Texas, Jones may no longer be a

shoe-in.

snaking LSU's official visit last weekend, it may be Michigan State's

turn to receive a late blow. Five-star Malik

McDowell hails from Michigan, but there's something about playing for

Urban Meyer that makes defecting palatable. Former Rutgers-commit and

tight end prospect David Njoku is also rumored to be visiting.

casualty of the James Franklin departure, Michael Sawyers'

decommitment from Vanderbilt has caused a frenzy among those looking

for defensive line help. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound heavy from Nashville visited

Georgia Tech on Jan. 17,

Ole Miss last weekend, and had

initially planned to tour Notre Dame on Friday. Those plans have

changed, however, and Sawyers will instead travel to nearby Knoxville.

Horned Frogs could put a lot of distance between themselves and last season's

four-win season with a commitment from Braden Smith. The nation's No.

50 overall prospect, Smith has been largely mum on his recruitment to this

point, saying only that it's down to Auburn, Texas A&M and

TCU. Gary Patterson gets his chance to woo the offensive lineman this

weekend and should receive a boost from Smith's sister, a member of the Horned

Frogs' track and field team.

keep rolling along for UCLA. Already in the mix for stud linebacker

Rashaan Evans, rumors are swirling that the Bruins may be able to sway

another SEC-commit, Malachi Dupre. LSU still has the inside

track, but with temperatures near 70 degrees in scenic Westwood this weekend and

quarterback Brett Hundley opting to toss the pigskin for another year,

conditions are ripe for a change of heart.

year ago, Cavs' coach

Mike London signed a pair of five-stars despite

going 2-6 in ACC play. After going 0-8 this fall, London's making a late push

for the nation's No. 4 defensive tackle, Derrick Nnadi. The Virginia

Beach-native doesn't speak to the media but a Tuesday in-home reportedly

couldn't have gone better, and Nnadi will trip to Charlottesville this weekend.

Whether it's enough to supplant Florida State and

Virginia Tech as favorites remains to be seen.

Commit List

committed prospects Dravon Henry and William Crest headline

the list of those headed to Morgantown this weekend. One player not in the

Mountaineers camp is D'Cota Dixon. A 5-foot-11, defensive back from

Florida, Dixon reportedly favors Wisconsin over

West Virginia

and Michigan State, but a strong final push could make the difference.
