Timetable: Aug. 2

Daniels will announce his commitment decision on Aug. 2 and the three most likely contenders are Clemson, South Carolina and Virginia Tech.

The Gamecocks have been considered the leader for the four-star safety for some time now, and he took an official visit to Columbia on June 21-23. However, a late offer from the Tigers that came in on May 30 may have given Daniels a lot to think about, while Virginia Tech has the distance from home advantage as the in-state program.

The Maury High School (Norfolk, Va.) standout has compiled close to 30 scholarship in total and ranks as a top-10 player in the state of Virginia.

Timetable: Aug. 3

Gilchrist, a Rivals250 prospect and the No. 3 player in the state of Virginia, is down to Georgia, Maryland and South Carolina ahead of his Aug. 3 decision date. He took official visits with the Bulldogs on June 14, the Terrapins on June 21 and the Gamecocks on May 31.

While all three schools remain in the mix, the thought is that the decision is most likely going to come down to Maryland or South Carolina. The Gamecocks have been the perceived leader for Gilchrist, but the Terrapins have gained a lot of positive momentum with him as of late.

The four-star offensive tackle out of Salem High School in Virginia Beach received around 25 total scholarship offers and will make his commitment decision public soon.
