The latest: The Jayhawks' top-rated commit, ATH Maciah Long, had himself a good weekend. Long led North Shore to a victory in his state championship game, rushing for 82 yards and two scores including the game-winner in overtime. Long plays quarterback at North Shore but might project best as a linebacker for KU.

The latest: Oklahoma landed a huge commitment last week from ESPN 300 DT Chris Daniels. The No. 121 overall ranked recruit made his decision on his birthday, and it wasn't an easy decision. Daniels chose the Sooners over Michigan and Alabama and became OU's top-rated pledge.

The latest: The Pokes' class has taken some tough hits in the past few months but did add a new commit last week from three-start Minnesota OT Matt Kegel. A new target has emerged at quarterback, too. After Oklahoma State offered two-star QB Keondre Wudtee, he decommitted from Louisiana Tech and set up an official visit to Stillwater for January.

The latest: TCU losing ESPN 300 ATH D'Eriq King last week raised a question: Do the Frogs need another quarterback pledge for 2016? They already have three-star Brennen Wooten, who had a productive senior year and will enroll early, and Kenny Hill will be eligible soon. Still, the Frogs are reportedly showing new interest in Wudtee as well.

The latest: Texas is bringing in an intriguing (and brilliantly named) prospect for an official visit in January: ATH Lil'Jordan Humphrey. He's nearly 6-foot-5 but played running back for Southlake Carroll and could thrive in a variety of roles at the next level. Humphrey is taking his visit to Texas on Jan. 15 with teammate and four-star UT commit Obi Eboh.
Total commits: 26

The latest: Texas Tech has been loading up on offensive linemen in this class and could end up taking one more if OT Yasir Durant picks the Red Raiders. The three-star lineman from Philadelphia has a top three of TTU, Rutgers and San Diego State and could schedule an official visit to Lubbock soon.

The latest: The Mountaineers have to be liking their chances right now for three-star New Jersey TE Jovani Haskins. He took his official visit to Morgantown right before the dead period began and might have WVU as his frontrunner now in a top four with Virginia Tech, North Carolina and Pitt.
