My Top Three

Email GunslingerBuzz@gmail.com or DM on Twitter with news tips. I focus on quarterbacks with at least one FBS or FCS offer through the next four recruiting classes.

3⭐ Oscar Rios will visit UCLA for its game vs. Minnesota on Saturday, he tells me. This will be his first visit since decommitting from Purdue last week, a few days after OC Graham Harrell was fired. Rios is considering a visit to Washington for it game against USC on Nov. 2. In addition to the Huskies and Bruins, he heard from Kansas, Auburn, Kansas State, Virginia Tech, Louisville, Colorado State, Nebraska, UNLV, Cal, Michigan State, Cincinnati and Syracuse since opening up his recruitment. Rios was committed to the Boilermakers for more than three months.

4⭐ Helaman Casuga is not planning to take another visit before announcing his commitment on Oct. 17, his dad tells me. Casuga is down to USC, Washington and Texas A&M, and the Aggies are the only program he visited this fall. He saw Washington on April 19 and USC on March 10. None of the three programs have a quarterback committed in this class.

Wisconsin 3⭐ commit Jarin Mock is still hearing from Ohio State, he tells me. He visited the Buckeyes for last weekend’s win over Iowa but remains firmly committed to the Badgers where he’s been committed since July. Mock plans to return for Wisconsin’s matchup with Penn State on Oct. 26 or Oregon on Nov. 16, and the Badgers are his only power conference offer.

Baylor 4⭐ commit Quinn Murphy attended one Bears game this fall with plans to see more depending on game times, his dad tells me. He declined to reveal which programs remain in contact, but Murphy is telling teams he remains committed to Baylor where he’s been committed for two months. He’s been told he’ll be the Bears’ lone quarterback in the class.
