247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Florida State is at 100 percent.
With the Seminoles having the crystal ball for Jacques Patrick locked up, there's no need to go against the grain. The Orlando native is a big running back at 6'1.5" and 222 pounds, but he has surprisingly good ball skills.
Not only will the Seminoles use Patrick in the power running game, but he'll also stay on the field on third downs to contribute in the passing game.

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Ole Miss is at 56 percent, and Auburn is at 44 percent.
Javon Patterson hails from Mississippi, and he will stay in his native state by signing with Ole Miss. Auburn will give the Rebels a run for their money, but the 4-star guard will choose to block in Oxford.
Keep an eye on Patterson, as he could develop into a center or defensive tackle at 6'2" and 290 pounds.
Patterson told the following to Blake Alderman of InsidetheGators.com (subscription required) on June 18: "I will make my decision in November. I want to graduate early to get a head start in college."

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Alabama is at 98 percent, while 2 percent is for Auburn.
This race may be a bit tighter than his crystal ball indicates, but Daron Payne will end up at Alabama. He's a perfect fit for the Crimson Tide, as the 5-star defensive lineman can play end or nose tackle in a 3-4 alignment.
Payne's heavy hands and 6'2", 330-pound frame will help him become a starter at 'Bama.

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Tennessee is at 46 percent, while Ohio State is at 38 percent. Ole Miss is at 8 percent, while Alabama and Memphis both are at 4 percent.
A Memphis native, Drew Richmond's crystal ball shows several programs involved. He will make his decision public on Sept. 9, per 247Sports, which is when he will announce for Tennessee. The chance to stay inside his state and block for the upstart Volunteers will win him over.
At 6'5" and 320 pounds, Richmond is a raw 4-star offensive tackle with outstanding size. With some polish, his athleticism should make him an All-SEC pick in Knoxville

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Alabama leads at 27 percent. Next, Clemson and Virginia are at 19 percent each. Tennessee is at 8 percent.
Tim Settle has a split crystal ball, with Alabama out in front. However, in the end, Tennessee will sign the dominant 5-star defensive tackle. The Volunteers are building a prominent defensive front, and Settle has the ability to be the unit's anchor.
At 6'3" and 318 pounds, he has strong hands. He can sit and anchor in holes, but the Virginia native also can slip through gaps.

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Texas A&M is at 100 percent.
Kendall Sheffield will flirt with several schools throughout the process; however, he will sign with Texas A&M next February. The Aggies offer him a chance to stay in Texas, likely play right away and compete in the SEC.
Head coach Kevin Sumlin is a smart coach, but he wouldn't be wise to keep Sheffield on the bench for long. He would be able to help Texas A&M's defense this fall, if he were eligible.

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Florida leads at 96 percent, with 4 percent for Georgia.
From Georgia, Adonis Thomas has a crystal ball that heavily favors Florida. The Gators will pry him out of the Peach State, where his athleticism will be used on defense. The 4-star athlete is 6'4" and 215 pounds and has the makings of a solid outside linebacker.
That should bring a smile to defensive-oriented head coach Will Muschamp.

247Sports' Crystal Ball Predictions: Auburn is at 91 percent, with 4 percent for Mississippi State.
Darryl Williams is a 4-star guard from Alabama who also is considering Florida State, according to 247Sports. In the end, however, Auburn will be where he elects to play.
The Tigers will squeeze him into their class, which will begin Williams' rise to becoming a starting guard on The Plains. At 6'4' and 304 pounds, he will give the Tigers another strong blocker in the trenches.

Blake Barnett - There may not be a more talented player at the event when you factor in size, athleticism and arm. He makes it look easy and never looks rushed. **Top performer candidate

My top 5 from day 1 of Elite 11: Josh Rosen (UCLA), Blake Barnett (Bama), Brandon Wimbush (PSU), Travis Waller (Ore) and Kyler Murray (A&M).

Jeremy Birmingham, Director of Recruiting for elevenwarriors.com:
Alabama commitment Blake Barnett. Barnett is effortless and his game requires no major adjustments; he’s savvy and decisive and has the ideal size for the position. We discussed him a bit in the AM breakdown, but Alabama commit Blake Barnett was once again very impressive during tonight’s second half. At 6-foot-4 and over 200 pounds, Barnett may very well be the most college-ready quarterback in attendance and as the majority of the field exhibited some fatigue this evening in the heat, he stayed cool and collected and kept firing darts as the drills concluded. Nick Saban is getting exactly the type of quarterback he’s been successful with for years

Exclusive INTEL on Blake Barnett from a source VERY close to him following Day II, the first day of live throwing:
Had a good day but was not on top of his game today. They have not seen him on yet. He is always fairly consistent so that really helps. Wait till Coach Kiffin & Coach Saban get some time with him. He is only scratching the surface really IMO. But glad he was still towards the top and not on his game. Good start. Glad writers outside the West can finally see him live & his size. Most of the kids here started as sophomores, but Blake didn’t. This time last year no one knew of Blake. He has made up a lot of ground. Right in the mix on an average day for him. I will take that.
One thing Blake Excels at is pressure. The more pressure the better he gets, the better he gets. Tuesday he will be named to his 7-on-7 squad. (note: this will be televised).
Barnett has not even been completely on top of his game and is solidly in the top 5 QBs early ahead of Ricky Town…STRONG.

Corona (Calif.) Santiago four-star Blake Barnett was probably among the top five on Sunday.
Having seen a ton of Barnett over the last year, his motion is getting better and better, not wasting as much motion in his throws, but the ball is flying out of his hands.
They mostly worked with 1/3 of the field, but I thought Blake did a great job using touch on passes, particularly in the red zone/goal line drills. He had a pretty good day, and was in my morning Top 5.

I guess some seem surprised by how good Blake Barnett is. I miss on plenty of kids, but have long said he's right there w/ Rosen & Town.

Barnett is going to end up a 5 star
Posted on 7/7/14 at 2:10 pm to TreyAnastasio
Definitely.
As will Lewis and Thompson. Cotton and Brown should be too imo, but that's just me.
Oh, and Ridley.
Plus we'll get Payne.
