247 Sports lists those who signed letters of intent and Hard Commits, but then list the top targets still not signed with the upcoming NLI signing day on February 5.



Top Target

Tate Romney 6-2 200 LB Chandler, AZ Chandler HS - SIGNED

Scotty Edwards 6-1 185 ATH Salt Lake City, UT Olympus HS - TO STANFORD

High Choice

Keanu Tanuvasa 6-4 275 DL Mission Viejo, CA Mission Viejo HS - TO UTAH

Jake Griffin 6-6 265 OL Mesa, AZ Red Mountain HS - SIGNED

Interested

Bodie Schoonover 6-4 210 LB American Fork, UT American Fork HS - SIGNED

Mark Ard Jr. 6-0 169 DB Rancho Santa Margarita, CA Santa Margarita Catholic HS

Scout Look

Alex Lines 6-4 235 TE Gilbert, AZ Higley HS - TO UNLV

Nusi Malani 6-6 250 DL San Mateo, CA Junipero Serra HS



This at least gives a confidence level, priority for the current state. Schoonover has dropped all the way down from verbal commit to "interested"--so not likely he sticks. All these guys are 3 stars.

Highly sought-after Arizona linebacker Tate Romney says he will sign with BYU

https://www.deseret.com/sports/2020/2/4/21122326/tate-romney-byu-football-byu-recruiting-lds-mormon-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints

...

Tate Romney, the Arizona Linebacker of the Year and the brother of current Cougars Gunner and Baylor Romney, told the Deseret News Tuesday morning that he will sign with BYU on Wednesday.



“It was a hard decision, with the options that I had, but I think BYU is the right place for me overall,” Tate Romney said via text message. “Looking forward to playing for the Y.”



Romney has said he plans to serve a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints before enrolling at BYU. The 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior is rated as a three-star prospect by 247sports.com and was also considering Oregon, Arizona State and Utah. He also had offers from Cal, Colorado, Washington State, Utah State and others.



BYU coach Kalani Sitake and offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes made an in-home visit last Thursday to meet with Romney and his parents, Jeni and Kade.



Romney said last week that he probably won’t have a ceremony involving the suspenseful choosing of a ball cap or anything of the sort. He said he might not even announce it on social media, as is the custom for recruits these days. That’s just not his style.



...



I'm liking this kid already!

Other CB posts suggest that:

- WR Miles Davis will sign tomorrow

- Bodie Schoonover will pick BYU over UCLA in a close, tough decision



I'm more inclined to believe the first part more than the second, but I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Pumped that we're getting Tate Romney, I was afraid if we missed out on him it would be complete pandemonium.
