RecruitingNation breaks down the top 10 players still undecided, including Dorial Green-Beckham, Davonte Neal, Andrus Peat and Eddie Goldman. The panel discusses why these players are important, where are they are likely to end up, and what it means for the teams that don’t get them.
The show will also feature results from ESPN The Magazine’s "Recruiting Confidential" poll of the top prospects in the nation. Who do the top players think is the nation’s best recruiter? Most over-rated recruiter? And, do they feel like they were being stalked through the recruiting process?
The show wraps up with a look at the top storylines for fans to follow as we count down to Feb. 1, national signing day.

It’s the year of the offensive lineman
There hasn’t this many talented offensive linemen in the West in the last decade and that’s definitely reflected in the ESPNU 150. There are 11 players from the West ranked among the top 100 players in the nation and six are offensive linemen, including the top two players in the region.
Arik Armstead (Elk Grove, Calif./Pleasant Grove) is the top-rated player in the West and comes in at No. 15. He actually wants to play defensive end in college, but his upside at the tackle position is off the charts.
