Publicly, Foster Sarell is down to Stanford, USC and Washington. In all his interviews, he seems very impressed with USC and Trojan football. But those around USC's program are extremely confident Sarell will not choose the Trojans. It would be an absolute shock if that happened.

The pick: Stanford

At one time, it seemed USC had no shot at landing Darnay Holmes. But Clancy Pendergast's defenses impressed Holmes and his family. And on top of that, the Trojans just kept on winning. When Holmes last spoke to TrojanSports.com, he mentioned his interest in USC is very high. He pointed to what USC could do for his image as a brand, USC's football history and recent winning ways. Everyone we've spoken too around the program is confident in USC's chances to sign Holmes. We believe he'll be a Trojan. Ohio State and UCLA are also under consideration.

The pick: USC

Bolden was at one time committed to USC but backed away from that commitment to look more closely at other schools. During the time Bolden was looking, USC went on a run and seemed to re-establish itself among the nation's elite. That makes USC an obvious choice for Bolden. Publicly he's down to Ohio State and the Trojans. But those around USC's program are confident in landing Bolden. We believe he'll make another commitment to USC.

The Pick: USC
