1. PREDICTIONS FOR TOP UNCOMMITTED PROSPECTS

Whether they are committing this week, at an all-star game or in February, here are my latest predictions on some of the top uncommitted prospects in the 2019 class.

RB Trey Sanders – This is a toss-up right now but the momentum seems to be in the Georgia corner over Alabama and Florida so I’ll take the Bulldogs.

WR Jadon Haselwood – I think he ends up back with Georgia after looking around. It looks like he’ll make his decision at an all-star game, but could still sign early.

OT Darnell Wright – Wright will take this until February and I like Tennessee’s chances, especially if Alabama gets Evan Neal (below) as expected.

ATH Bru McCoy – McCoy is expected to announce at an all-star game as well and USC will be the pick despite the Trojans' awful season.

OT Evan Neal – Alabama has had the lead for the longest time and I don’t think the Crimson Tide lose it despite a late Georgia run.

CB Chris Steele – South Carolina has been rumored and that wouldn’t surprise me, but I still think he picks the Gators in the end. He could sign “secretly” and announce at an all-star game.

DE Zach Harrison – This is a very tough one to call but Michigan had the edge before Urban Meyer retired so I think the Wolverines hang on and win this battle over Ohio State and Penn State. I might be in the minority here though.

DT Ishmael Sopsher – LSU doesn’t lose out on too many in-state recruits and the Tigers have made a nice late run and have the momentum over Alabama right now. I’ll go with LSU.

ATH Quavaris Crouch – Clemson has long been the leader and Michigan was in the mix but I think Tennessee has stolen this one with a late visit.

LB Nakobe Dean – Dean is a tough call but things have been trending toward Georgia here and I think the Bulldogs win this battle over Alabama and Ole Miss.

CB Tyrique Stevenson – It appears to be a Georgia-Miami battle with Florida trying to pull an upset but give me the Bulldogs for this one.

WR Kyle Ford – It’s USC or Washington for Ford and I think this is one the Trojans win in the end.

DE Khris Bogle – He’s a must-get for Miami and I think the Hurricanes hold off everyone else for his services.

NO. 1 LINEBACKER WILL ALERT COACHES TUESDAY

One coaching staff will receive good news Tuesday while five others will receive bad news.

Nakobe Dean is not driving back home Monday night after the game. He and his family are going back to a hotel, talk things over one more time and make the decision.

"I do not know yet where I am going," said Dean. "I will make the decision tonight or Tuesday morning. Everybody is still in the mix until I call them. I will call them by Tuesday morning."

Dean went on to say that Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss and Texas A&M are still in it. He mentioned family as a factor, but there is something else that is most important.

"The feel is most important. I have to be able to feel comfortable at the university."

We know he will play in the SEC and Dean that conference plays physical football, which is what he likes.

His mother will play a role. Who are their favorites?

"I think her favorite coaching staff is Auburn, but I do not know too much about what she is thinking right now. I think my dad likes LSU."

Dean is looking forward to putting the recruiting process behind him. He will announce his decision Wednesday afternoon around 2pm ET.

Byron Young

Alabama commit Byron Young was one a lot many were talking about after this game. More than one asked about who he was and where he was going from the Team Alabama coaching staff. Also, two high school coaches in Mississippi were raving about about Young after watching him. The four-star out of West Jones is strong at the point of attack and he crashed down the line making numerous plays in this contest.
