Tackling The Biggest Questions For National Signing Day

... question to take on at the jump here. There’s the underlying narrative Georgia might lose one of its commits that would really complicate National Signing Day. That “three spots left” talk then gets railroaded into hypotheticals that would tie up an octopus. I’m just not seeing it. Wyatt said he was humbled by the chance to put on the Georgia uniform on his first visit to Athens this summer. (Dr. Brian Hightower / Special). The buzz trends to 4-star DE Robert Beal, 4-star CB Tray Bishop and 4-star DT Devonte Wyatt. It would be a tremendous surprise in my book if any of those guys flipped anywhere. Bishop only took one official visit and he’s been locked to UGA for several months. Beal and Wyatt took official visits to South Carolina recently and those have been buzz flips for the fans and insiders of that program to crow about. These are also two entirely different prospects to read. Beal has been a hot 4-to-5-star ...

Jim Harbaugh, Kirby Smart Make Final Pitches For 4-star Clay-chalkville Receiver Nico Collins

... They have a lot of shifty, slot receivers, but need a big guy.". Collins said he's seen most of what he needs to see at Georgia, but is looking forward to his official visit. "I've been there multiple times," Collins said. "It's my official, so it's a chance to hang out one more time and see if it's the right place for me the next few years.". Collins also has LSU and Alabama in his final four, but in no order. He took an official visit to LSU in early December and an unofficial visit to the school two weekends ago. "My first time going to LSU was on an official," Collins said. "I had to come back one more time to check it out. I really enjoy myself down there. (Assistant) Coach (Dameyune) Craig showed me a good time and a couple of receivers did. We had a good time.". After the Georgia trip, it's down to business as he prepares to make a ...

The Latest On Michigan Wolverines Recruiting

... beat has asked: What just happened with Nico Collins. The 247 Sports Composite 4-star WR prospect was thought to be a Michigan favorite from the early summer until December. For the entire winter, he’s been favored to choose Georgia — a school that has recruited him for two years. For the entire month of January, nearly every outlet had Collins tabbed to the Bulldogs. But suddenly on Sunday night, things took a turn. Georgia recruiting writers Kipp Adams and Rusty Mansell were the first to put in a 247 Sports Crystal Ball for Michigan on Sunday night, which was followed by one of the industry’s best — 247 Sports’ Steve Wiltfong — doing the same. Once this news began to surface, we picked up the phone to find out what exactly drove this buzz. My Crystal Ball has been on Michigan for Collins since Sep. 30. I believed the Georgia buzz, but never had sure enough info to switch my pick. And, on Sunday night, then again on Monday morning, received info from a trusted source that Georgia will not be landing Collins. And the believed leader is in fact Michigan. And that lead is firm heading into the final two days. On to the next receiver. ...

... Deangelo Gibbs in the group, so the Bulldogs would not appear to be in a strong position based on numbers. Alabama and LSU are recruiting two of the same guys in Amite's Devonta Smith and Collins, and one would think they are not heading to the same school, especially when those two schools already have solid receiver classes. Smith is taking his official visit to LSU this weekend, before a scheduled visit to Alabama on January 20 and Miami on January 27. Collins' official visit to Alabama is set for January 21. As for Jenkins, LSU extended him an offer in February of 2016, and a visit here shows that LSU intends to be a contender for his services.

... sits as the lowest-rated Michigan commit at No. 891 overall in the country. Taylor has received late offers from Hawaii and Michigan State. His dad is an alum of Hawaii, where he played basketball. And Taylor was just there to participate in the Polynesian Bowl. Michigan State was a school that really came out of nowhere. Taylor is supposed to visit this weekend, the last weekend before Signing Day, but that might not happen. In the end, I think he sticks in this class. @Land Of Justice nico collins update. — Glenn Heberlig (@Glenn Heberlig) January 24, 2017. Answer: The recruitment of Pinson (Ala.) 4-star WR Nico Collins has become the total opposite of what we thought it to be since June. Michigan was a lock to land Collins. He has visited four times since June, three of those on his own dime. But Georgia kept tabs, and came in aggressive around December. These are the factors that lead me to believe Georgia will land him. Georgia quarterback Jacob Eason’s family has been recruiting Collins to UGA for two years. His two primary Michigan recruiters – Jedd Fisch and Tyrone Wheatley – took new jobs ...
