Working on planning January visits.
Eyeing a top-six release "soon."
— Tennessee has done a really nice job, but we'll see if the Vols can pick up where they left off now that Tim Banks is out as defensive coordinator in Rocky Top.
— South Carolina has done an excellent job.
— Would peg Texas A&M as a probable top-6 inclusion, and possibly in the top-half of that group.
— Notre Dame is on him heavily.
— Among others in the mix to make his top-six: Oklahoma, Miami, LSU, Clemson.
— Florida State firing Patrick Surtain likely hurts the Seminoles' chances. On the other hand, Auburn has a chance to become relevant with some of the moves they're making.
