B/R Recruiting Notebook: 4-Star Plans Official Visits, Talks Decision Timeline

Still with expectations of a verbal commitment on national signing day in February, Manvel, Texas, 4-star defensive back Deontay Anderson has narrowed his choices to four schools.

And according to the nation's No. 3 safety in the 2016 class, all four schools will get official visits after his high school season concludes.

Anderson told Bleacher Report that Texas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss and LSU will get official visits. He added that Texas will get the first visit. Dates are still tentative for all four schools, but the Longhorns will get the opportunity to set the bar for the others. Anderson also said he's currently only planning to take four visits, even though he's allowed five.

"I talked with my mom about everything, and I was going to commit at the Under Armour [All-America] game," Anderson said, "but I want to take all of my visits and be sure that I'm actually making the right decision."

Anderson, who has more than 40 offers, said he likes the future of each program and feels he can be an immediate contributor at the next level. Choosing to wait to commit on signing day and not during the Under Armour All-America Game in January gives him an additional month to weigh his options in an effort to make the right choice.

He admitted the process has its moments of chaos, but overall, recruiting has been a good experience. As he continues to be patient, Anderson said he's making the next few weeks a priority to treat the process with the utmost care.

"It's very important. It's like a relationship," he said. "You don't want to visit a school if you've already found the right one. I don't want to be the guy who decommits 50 times."

Irish building for the future, land 2017 4-star DE

Notre Dame's 2016 class looks strong, and with Norcross, Georgia, defensive end Robert Beal ending his process with a commitment to the Irish Sunday evening, according to 247Sports' Tom Loy, the 2017 class is making waves as well.

Notre Dame has five pledges in the 2017 class. Four of the five are listed as 4-star athletes. For those keeping score, the Irish have 17 commits in the 2016 class. Seven of the 17 are 4-stars.

Beal, the nation's No. 3 weak-side defensive end, called Notre Dame a "dream offer" back in May and is expected to be a reliable member of the defensive line when his time comes.

"It's an amazing school," Beal told Loy. "From the academics to the football side, it has it all."

LSU DB pledge keeping an eye on 'the 318'

Monroe, Louisiana, 4-star defensive back Cameron Lewis has been committed to LSU since March. He's been pleased with the success of the program this year, and he's excited about the 2016 class.

In fact, this year has made selling the program to potential recruits fairly easy for him.

"They like the program. LSU has a great program, and they think it's going to continue to grow with the great young players and the ones coming in like myself," said Lewis, the nation's No. 14 safety.

Lewis chose LSU over offers from Michigan, Georgia, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, TCU, Texas A&M and a host of other programs. Now he's hoping that others will make a similar decision. The Tigers have a few big-name targets still uncommitted, and Lewis is hoping the program can be loaded with players from the Monroe area.

"I really don't pressure other recruits to commit. I feel everyone has a different feel for schools," he said. "But I have been on Devin White and Rashard Lawrence because we are all from the 318, the same area code. I think they'll make a huge impact on our class, and we can continue to keep the great tradition at LSU."

Top-ranked JUCO CB weighing options

There are several schools looking for immediate help in the secondary. Coffeyville (Kansas) Community College cornerback Jamarcus King could be the answer.

King is the top-ranked junior college cornerback in the 2016 class. A former Auburn commit, King decommitted from the Tigers in September after giving the program his pledge in June.

King's plans for the future, he said, are still up in the air.

"I really don't know right now, but I'm going to take a few visits and decide," King said. "I've got Baylor and Tennessee visits coming up."

King said he'll visit Baylor the weekend of Nov. 14. A Tennessee visit will follow shortly after, but he hasn't set an official date. King added that Auburn is still in the mix, as is Louisville.

King is ranked No. 12 overall among junior college prospects. According to the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference website, King has 33 tackles, a team-high nine pass breakups and three interceptions on the year for Coffeyville, a nationally ranked team.

Sleeper alert: St. John Bosco QB silencing after-Rosen questions

When Josh Rosen graduated from St. John Bosco High School in Bellflower, California, the big question was "who's next?"

Quentin Davis has answered the challenge and, despite not being rated or having an FBS offer until the start of this month, is putting up solid numbers following Rosen's departure. Davis has thrown for 2,365 yards, 23 touchdowns and only one interception in 192 pass attempts this season, per MaxPreps.com. He's completing better than 70 percent of his passes and also has rushed for 285 yards and four touchdowns.

Davis led St. John Bosco to a 9-0 record with the help of a 31-12 win Thursday against Orange (California) Lutheran. He completed 15 of 19 passes for 219 yards.

"How St. John Bosco would replace Josh Rosen was really the lone question about this team entering the year," said Dallas Jackson of NationalHSFootball.com (via colleague Ryan Swartz). "Davis was quite impressive during the spring and summer sessions, and it gave us the confidence to place the team at No. 1 in the nation. He has done nothing to suggest that we made the wrong choice to date."

Davis is now looking for a couple of FBS offers to build around his success at St. John Bosco. At 6'1" and 205 pounds, he has a new offer from Fresno State and interest from schools such as Utah, SMU and Hawaii.
