Relevant prospects announcing commitments
Ten elite prospects are expected to commit Saturday during the All-American Bowl, and the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine has projections for each.www.on3.com
4-star OL Earnest Greene
Background: Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco
On3 Consensus Ranking: No. 60
RPM Projection: 93.7% for Georgia
The Skinny: Entering All-American Bowl week, the RPM said that Georgia had a slim margin over Alabama for Earnest Greene. But things have changed after a week of information gathering at the All-American Bowl in San Antonio. Now Georgia is overwhelming favored to land Greene. There are seven expert predictions logged and all six are for UGA, including none that are lower than 55%.
4-star S Larry Turner-Gooden
*Early enrollee
Background: Playa Del Ray (Calif.) Bishop Alemany
On3 Consensus Ranking: No. 245
RPM Projection: 85.8% for Texas
The Skinny:Larry Turner-Gooden was committed to Arizona State from February until September, when he took an official visit to Penn State. A few days after that trip, he opened up his recruitment and drew interest from a number of programs. But Texas has been the one standout for some time now. The four-star safety also took official visits to Maryland and Colorado, but the RPM has the Longhorns as the heavy favorite to add to their top-five class. Turner-Gooden didn’t arrive for the All-American Bowl until Friday and all signs point toward the RPM being right on the money with its forecast.
