Notre Dame and Florida State Expected to Land Top Recruits
Notre Dame leads the nation in signing Top 100 players for a third straight year with non-binding commitments from 14 of the top prospects, while Florida State profiles as a recruiting powerhouse in talent-rich Florida. Michigan sits second with eight commitments. Emfinger notes Florida State's edge due to five top prospects including Sterling Palmer. Barry Sanders, amid NFL speculation, declined to discuss his future while in Philadelphia. Boston reports hint at Roger Clemens trade talks if a multi-year deal cannot be reached before the season, risking free agency after 1990.
