Recruits who otherwise might have gone to a lower Power 5 school might not have a scholarship available now and could move down a level if their spot is taken by a transfer. The transfer market will end up taking scholarships away from the high school recruits to some degree, so it will have an impact one way or another. -- Tom VanHaarenWhich schools have the most at stake over the next few days? Alabama: The Crimson Tide are currently holding on to the No. 1 ranked class, just one spot above Georgia. The talk of the last few years is how Georgia is beating Alabama on the field, how Texas A&M had the No.
With that in mind, the race is not over yet. A staple among the top classes -- seven straight top-three finishes and currently sitting at No. 2 -- Georgia remains a threat. If Russaw and Smith land somewhere besides Tuscaloosa and the Bulldogs can finish with a few big commits such as Wilson, then the Bulldogs could make the battle interesting. Notre Dame has been a consistent near top of the rankings all cycle and need to get five-star safety Peyton Bowen -- who has interest from Oklahoma and other schools -- across the finish line to stay in the hunt. Even with that, though, there doesn't look to be enough remaining targets to get them to the top, however Marcus Freeman is poised to sign the Fighting Irish's highest-ranked class in a decade.

-- Craig HaubertHow has the transfer portal impacted the 2023 recruiting cycle? Installing transfer windows (Dec. 5-Jan. 18) has given coaches a more precise timeline of when they might lose players or when they can add them. For roster management, the windows allow coaches to figure out how many scholarships are available to give out to high school prospects and how many transfers they can take.
We have seen some players from the 2022 recruiting class enter the portal, including Travis Hunter, a former five-star, wide receiver Chris Marshall, corner Denver Harris and linebacker Dasan McCullough, among plenty of others. Coaches could be more inclined to go after that type of player, who already has college experience, than taking a flier on a high school recruit. Because of the sheer number of players that entered the portal -- more than 1, 900 as of Monday night -- we are very likely to see a trickle-down effect for high school prospects.
A trio of quarterbacks -- Malachi Nelson (No. 1), Arch Manning (No. 2) and Dante Moore (No. 3) -- are the top three overall recruits in the ESPN 300. Nelson, from California prep power Los Alamitos High School, initially committed to Oklahoma in July 2021, but he flipped to USC when Lincoln Riley left Oklahoma to coach the Trojans. Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli and grandson of Archie, set numerous program records at Isidore Newman School (Louisiana) and committed to Texas in June after also considering Alabama and Georgia. Moore, a product of Martin Luther King High School (Michigan), initially offered his pledge to Oregon in July; however, he flipped to UCLA two days before the early signing period. He is the Bruins' highest-ranked commit since Jaelan Phillips, who was the No.

1 ranking? Alabama sits at No. 1, and while maintaining that ranking is not a lock, the Crimson Tide are in good position to notch their eighth top-ranked class under Nick Saban. Whether the Tide secure the No. 1 class could come down to the commitments of five-star teammates Russaw and Smith, both scheduled to announce on Wednesday. Though SEC foes like Florida, Auburn and Georgia are in the mix, if Alabama can land the pair, it would give Saban and his staff over 20 ESPN 300 commits (three five-stars) and widen their margin to a point that would be difficult to overcome. Recruiting is full of surprises and anything can happen.
