It's time to take another look at the teams we're expecting to compete for the national championship in 2015.
So, with signing day mere weeks away, here's how the teams in the Way-Too-Early Top 25 are looking on the recruiting trail:
1. TCU Horned Frogs
Who they have: TCU's class continues to climb up the charts and now stands firmly within the top 40 of the RecruitingNation class rankings. But keep in mind, Gary Patterson has never been big on chasing stars. His style of recruiting is taking the best available athlete from the Lone Star State or surrounding areas and then developing him into a great player. But the class speaks volumes about the type of athlete Patterson is now able to get with the recent run the Horned Frogs have been on. With TCU's offense grabbing a lot of headlines this season, it's no surprise to see offensive talent highlight the 2015 class. Receivers J.F. Thomas and Jaelan Austin are big gets from the Metroplex, and some insiders believe three-star receiver Tony James and Darrion Flowers could surprise also. Defensive backs Montrel Wilson and DeShawn Raymond are good defenders who fit TCU's aggressive style of play on that side of the ball.
Who they want: Adding quality along the defensive line appears to be priority No. 1 for the Horned Frogs in the final run-up to signing day. That's where defensive tackles Daylon Mack and Bryce English come into play. Mack, a five-star prospect, originally committed to Texas A&M but backed away from that pledge and recently called the Horned Frogs his leader. He still has a long list of January visits ahead and it would be a major recruiting victory to get him to come to Fort Worth. English was previously committed to UCLA, but he's from DeSoto High School, a nearby program that has been very kind to TCU over the years.
Storyline to watch: Can the Frogs land Mack? That is really the biggest storyline left for the 2015 class, with 20-plus commitments already on the board. If Patterson & Co. can get him, it would be their biggest recruiting victory since he's arrived as the coach at TCU. Mack is an impact defender who was impossible to block at the Under Armour All-America Game. If TCU gets Mack, it would also signal to other elite prospects that Fort Worth is the place to be. -- Jeremy Crabtree
