I’ve liked where we sit for a while now. I still Like our position. It gives us time to build a relationship with his cousin.

You realize we are in the thick of things with this right? His cousin is visiting in January it sounds like and his other cousin already is headed here. Bama will be full and I think we are preferred over ASU by him and his family.

I'm probably wrong, just feels like this is going to be one that gets away late the more time that passes.  Having an Arizona kid visit in January is also concerning without any type of game day experience to be had.

 
He told Greg Smith he is torn between NU, ASU and USC — the reason why he is not signing early. So I guess you can say all three schools have a 33 percent chance of signing him in February.

USC got a crystal ball from a safety earlier today...hopefully he signs and it becomes a two team race...

I agree. USC seems to always be only one coach away from being the best in the PAC 12. They have that high ceiling. While I give Herm some praise for having a competitive team this season, their upside is less clear. 

 
The pressure to sign Wednesday was enough for Pola-Gates to shrink his list to three: Arizona State, Nebraska and USC.

 
Alabama had been all over Pola-Gates this month, even to the point of bringing out head coach Nick Saban for a home visit.

"Almost every school has put the pressure on real thick," said Pola-Gates, who won the Mike Haynes Award for the top senior defensive back in Arizona, about being pressured to sign early. "My final three have given me the space to do this on my terms and not rush."

On eliminating Alabama, he said, “As cool as it is to be so highly recruited by a school like 'Bama,' it just isn’t a true fit for me and my family.”
