I just told you where are all the experts have predicted Filiaga going. UM is at 70%, USC, I believe was 2nd at like 15% with TCU and OU tied for 3rd with 7%.

Crystal balls are stupid. They tend to magically change 48 hours before a kid decides

Rumors running rampant in the state that Filigia is staying close to home. That probably means OU as his family is settling down in the Aledo area permanently.

But we'll see.

I don't usually put much into them unless it is a landslide which is the case for Filiaga. Couple that with the fact, he has been congratulating each UM recruit which you rarely see from an uncommitted player and it makes me think he is one of the silent commits UM has right now.

Is that 247 sports?


It shows UW as the leader for Foster, but when you look at the 'predictions' from the experts, they are all old. Most of the newer info has him as stanford.

Some kids handle Social media differently. Miami commit DJ Johnson followed all the Husky coaches, Husky players, Husky Commits and even Husky prospects.

Yeah. That's why I said I don't put much into the crystal balls unless it is a landslide. In Filiaga's case -- I believe it is 16 of 20 predictions say UM. I believe USC has 2, then 1 for TCU, 1 for OU.

It is far from a sure thing. No one knows but the commit what they will do. Everyone had Isaiah Wilson to UM and he ended up at Georgia.

I know the recruits all follow each other. It was the congratulating each of the UM commits with the UM emoji the players on UM's team and committed recruits use that makes me think he is a lock.

I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time or the last, but I've never seen an uncommitted recruit responding on that stuff like that.

I'd also look at the dates of the predictions, some of them are really old, so why would they play into the equation. I don't really like that system.

I agree. It goes back to what I said. Unless it is a complete landslide -- I don't put a lot into the crystal balls.

Yea I hate that they leave really old predictions on there, it would be a lot better if they kept up to date and didnt account for predictions made say any longer than 2 months before the current date.

I wouldn't count Filiaga. Word is the family would like him close to home. Last I heard OU had a slight lead. Texas likely 4th amongst Mich, OU, TCU, and Texas.

Rumors running rampant in the state that Filigia is staying close to home. That probably means OU as his family is settling down in the Aledo area permanently.

But we'll see.


Thursday, Chuck Filiaga announced his final three as Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Michigan.
4-star OT Chuck Filiaga includes Michgan, Nebraska in top 3
