Location: Orlando, Florida

Venue: Citrus Bowl

Kickoff time: 11:00 AM CST

Television: ESPN2.

Five recruits will announce their verbal commitments during the game:

Drake Davis, WR,
IMG Academy - Bradenton, FL 
Ole Miss is thought to be his leader but LSU a VERY close second. Alabama is still in it too

Terrance Davis, OL
DeMatha Catholic - Hyattsville, MD 

Maryland, Florida and Michigan are the top leaders for Davis.

*Jean Delance, OL

North Mesquite HS - Mesquite, TX

It's Texas or Michigan for Delance, but just 2 days ago he said he could see himself playing at LSU.

Rahshaun Smith, LB
IMG Academy, Bradenton, FL 
Smith will be a Tiger at the next level - LSU, Clemson and Auburn are his favorites.

*Devwah Whaley, RB 

Central HS - Beaumont, Texas

Will it be Texas or Arkansas for the former Georgia commit?

*Devwah Whaley is scheduled to announce before kickoff

*Jean Delance will be a halftime announcement

Cuffee?

Cuffee?

Don't believe Cuffee has a television slot to announce at the UA Game.

 

[North Texas Golfer]

I read where Whaley is announcing on TV prior to the start of the game.

Ah I see any word on when he will announce? NSD?

 

[Aaron Carrara]

I read where Whaley is announcing on TV prior to the start of the game.

Correct - Whaley is slotted to announce prior to kickoff.  Delance will make his announcement at the half.

Roach mentioned Cuffee wanted to announce today at the game but wasn't able to grab a TV slot to do so.  Honestly at this point - no idea when his announcement will come.  He could go solo and announce via twitter today or he could wait until NSD.

 

[BevoBlake]

They're only doing five announcements? I feel like games in the past had somewhere around ten. But I could easily be misremembering. 

Edit: Scratch that. There are other games that have announcements as well.

 

[BevoBlake]

Whaley to Arkansas. 

 

[Aaron Carrara]

Whaley commits to the Arkansas Razorbacks.

it really does not bother me we did not get Whaley. There isn't a position that we are more loaded at then running back. 

 

[Hookemfan91]

Isn't he still OVing to Texas though?

 

[BevoBlake]

According to insiders, he'll still take his OV. And some were saying that he may still be a flip regardless of who he chose today. I guess we'll see.

 

[Mike Roach]

Got a text from my Whaley source right after the announcement that indicated this wasn't his family's choice.  Whaley will still visit in January, and Texas has a chance there.  They also still have Kyle Porter out there.

 

[texasdalton]

While i think it might be great to have him. i wont lose sleep over Whaley.

 

[BevoBlake]

Florida State has some good ones coming in.
