Kendall recently visited campus on his own dime, so there's likely something to that. Don't know if admitted yet.
Armitage is down to us, USC, and Florida, and many of his recent Twitter follows are fellow class of '21 members. Has been admitted.

That's a more sanguine assessment than I had been led to believe. I thought Armitage was as good as gone, though your comments don't necessarily contradict that notion.

Aaron Armitage commits Tuesday at 1 pm Pacific time. All of his 247 crystal balls are for the University of Satan's Children, but I note that all of those predictions came in May or June. AA has had a 2-year relationship with USC's DL coach, when said coach was recruiting AA to UVA. However, of his three finalists--Florida is also in the mix--AA has only set foot on one campus. And that would be Stanford. Sad to imagine a four-star recruit who has been admitted and visited campus would go elsewhere, but untiil AA announces I'll hold onto hope.

I have found 247 Sports to be quite accurate, particularly right before a player commits. So I have a feeling that the reason those people have not changed their predictions is because they have found no reason to do so.
We'll find out soon enough, though.

247 insiders said Armitage apparently told another team's coach last night he was USC bound, woke up this morning and had a change of heart. Apparently his parents have been pushing for Stanford the whole team and he highly values academics. He might not sign till the spring tho so this could drag out, and a win today might not mean a signing.

Obviously we're all holding our breaths, but in the meantime good admissions news for another big-time defensive recruit:

The twitter comments from Florida fans are amazingly gracious. I was expecting to see a bunch of comments about how you can get just as good of an education from Florida and comments bashing Stanford, but it was very respectful. Most comments were congratulating him and wishing him the best and recognized that Stanford is hard to turn down. Very unusual to see fans behaving so professionally on twitter.

Meanwhile, Armitage's instagram commitment announcement is riddled with angry USC fans.
