FUTURECAST: Isaiah Collier to USC
This past week, I entered a FutureCast for five-star point guard Isaiah Collier to be a USC Trojan. Andy Enfield and his staff have done an excellent job in this recruitment and seem to have the lead heading down the stretch. Whispers of Collier to USC started as early as June or July and have picked up steam every since. Cincinnati and Michigan have also been very active in this recruitment and it will be interesting to see if either of them can make a last second move and pass the Trojans for his services. Collier will be announcing on Nov. 16.

TWO HORSE RACE FOR WESLEY YATES
As Wesley Yates nears a decision next Wednesday, two programs have separated themselves from the pack — Washington and LSU. This one should go down to the wire as both programs have put their best foot forward. I’ve gone back and forth on these two programs based on different intel from different sources. I currently have a FutureCast in for Washington, but it’s one to monitor until the decision is made.

VISIT PLANS FOR GEORGE WASHINGTON III
Since decommitting from Ohio State, George Washington III has formed a nice list of suitors. Sources tell Rivals that Washington will take visits to Michigan, Louisville, Wake Forest and Dayton. He will start off his official visits with Michigan, which is next weekend, with others following afterwards.
