In the "For What It's Worth" Column, here are some highlights from ESPN Insider's projections on their uncommitted Top-300 players.
Lamont Gaillard
Fayetteville, N.C./Pine Forest
ESPN 300 RANK: 12
POS: DT
HT/WT: 6-4/300
STARS: 5
Prediction: Georgia (confidence of prediction - 8 out of 10)
A few weeks ago, the Florida Gators would have been the pick, but in a sudden turn of events, Gaillard eliminated the Gators and has the Bulldogs on top. As of now, Georgia is certainly the team to beat, but a new team, Miami, is also near the top for the five-star defensive tackle.

Ermon Lane
Homestead, Fla./Homestead Senior
ESPN 300 RANK: 25
POS: WR
HT/WT: 6-2/171
STARS: 4
Alabama (confidence = 6)
Miami and Alabama are neck-and-neck for the top-ranked wide receiver in the ESPN 300. Lane has stated that distance won't be a factor, and in the end, Bama fans will be happy.

Kentavius Street
Greenville, N.C./J.H. Rose
ESPN 300 RANK: 30
POS: DE
HT/WT: 6-2/265
STARS: 4
NC State (Confidence = 4)
Georgia held the lead for Street for over a month, but following a recent visit to NC State the Wolfpack have jumped to the top of his list. The chance to help a nearby program with players he knows is a big selling point to Street, who also has Miami and LSU in his top group. His list could change several more times over the next few months.

Johnnie Dixon
Palm Beach Gardens, Fla./Dwyer
ESPN 300 RANK: 43
POS: WR
HT/WT: 5-11/193
STARS: 4
Florida (Confidence = 4)
The talented pass-catcher has been high on Florida, Miami and Florida State for a while. A case could be made for any of those three schools, but as of now the Gators hold a slight advantage.
<><><>
Travis Rudolph
West Palm Beach, Fla./Cardinal Newman
ESPN 300 RANK: 81
POS: WR
HT/WT: 6-1/186
STARS: 4
Florida (confidence = 6)
After decommitting from Miami, Rudolph has visited Florida a few times, including a visit with his mother for Florida's spring game. Auburn is now in the picture and Miami is not out of it yet, but the Gators appear to be the front-runners.
<><><>
Chris Lammons
Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Plantation
ESPN 300 RANK: 84
POS: ATH
HT/WT: 5-10/169
STARS: 4
Miami
(confidence = 6)
Several schools, including Alabama, Florida, Florida State and South Carolina, are in the mix for Lammons, but ultimately the Canes have the inside track to land the talented athlete.
<><><>
Marquis Ware
Los Angeles/Salesian
ESPN 300 RANK: 118
POS: ATH
HT/WT: 6-2/210
STARS: 4
UCLA (confidence = 2)
This likely changes if offers come in from Oregon, USC or Washington. Out-of-state options such as Florida State, Miami and Nebraska are possible as well.
<><><>
Travonte Valentine
Palm Bay, Fla./Bayside
ESPN 300 RANK: 150
POS: DT
HT/WT: 6-4/295
STARS: 4
Miami (Confidence = 6)
Valentine has decommitted from two schools, Louisville and Florida, already so it's difficult to predict where he will end up, but as of now it looks like the Hurricanes are the team to beat.
