My current predictions on where each Alabama target will sign on Wednesday.

Rashan Gary, five-star defensive tackle from Catholic High School in Paramus, N.J.

Bone says: The nation's No.1 recruit considered a visit on Saturday/Sunday to Alabama. He didn't visit.
The pick: Michigan

Ben Davis, five-star linebacker from Gordo High School in Ala.
Bone says:
Davis is doing a good job of building some drama prior to his announcement. All signs point to him following in his dad's footsteps.
The pick: Alabama

Mack Wilson, five-star linebacker from Carver High School in Montgomery, Ala.
Bone says:
Wilson eliminated Florida on Friday. It's down to Alabama and UGA. Expect him to join Davis and stay in-state.
The pick: Alabama

Terrell Hall, five-star defensive end from St. John's College in Washington, D.C.
Bone says:
Hall had a great trip to Ole Miss, and Maryland is hoping he stays home. Alabama is in very good shape.
The pick: Alabama

Mique Juarez, five-star linebacker from North High School in Torrance, Calif.
Bone says:
Juarez came off his official visit to Alabama last week on very big high, and Alabama took the lead for the West Coast star. UCLA seems to have re-gained some momentum, and working hard to keep him home. I will give a final prediction before the announcement. It's just extremely tight.
The pick: Toss-up (Alabama or UCLA)

Jack Jones, five-star cornerback from Poly High School in Long Beach, Calif.
Bone says
: Will this five-star from Cali shock and pick the Crimson Tide? Not likely
The pick: USC

Jeffery Simmons, five-star defensive end from Noxubee County High School in Macon, Miss.
Bone says:
This one has been a lot closer than what it has appeared despite the high confidence coming out of Oxford. However, not going to pick against the Rebels.
The pick: Ole Miss

Demetris Robertson, five-star athlete from Savannah Christian School in Ga.
Bone says:
Three straight weekends of cancelled visits to Alabama. Never a good sign. Sources close to him say UGA is on the outside. Hard to believe especially if he travels to Athens next weekend as currently scheduled. Notre Dame is in good shape (at this time).
The pick: Notre Dame or Georgia

Mecole Hardman, five-star athlete from Elbert County High School in Bowman, Ga.
Bone says
: Hardman has been claiming Alabama his leader. He didn't take an official visit to Alabama. They are in it, but he will sign with the Bulldogs.
The pick: Georgia

Derrick Brown, five-star defensive tackle from Lanier High School in Sugar Hill, Ga.
Bone says:
This is a tight battle with Alabama, Auburn, Georgia and Tennessee. However, it seems the Tigers have been trending the last few weeks.
The pick: Auburn

A.J. Brown, Rivals100 wide receiver from Starkville High School in Miss.
Bone says
: There has been a lot of different information the last few weeks which school is in the lead. However, the Rebels are in good shape coming off the visit in Oxford .
The pick: Ole Miss

Nigel Knott, Rivals100 cornerback from Germantown High School in Madison, Miss.
Bone says:
This one seems like a long time coming.
The pick: Alabama (The actual pick: Alabama)

Devin Asiasi, Rivals100 tight end from De La Salle High School in Concord, Calif.
Bone says
: The elite prospect visited Alabama three times during his recruitment, but will stay on the west coast.
The pick: UCLA or USC

Landon Dickerson, Rivals100 offensive guard from South Caldwell High School in Hudson, N.C.
Bone says:
Dickerson enjoyed his official visit to Alabama. However, he is not likely to sign with the Crimson Tide.
The pick: Florida State

Nigel Warrior, Rivals100 safety from Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Ga.
Bone says:
Alabama has been on the outside for a while, and look for him to play across the state.
The pick: Auburn

Mykel Jones, Rivals100 wide receiver from Patterson High School in La.
Bone says:
Jones remains down on Alabama's recruiting board. A spot is currently unavailable. He took a surprise visit to Oklahoma this weekend after canceling a trip to Ole Miss.
The pick: Oklahoma

Michail Carter, Rivals100 defensive tackle from Jackson High School in Ga.
Bone says:
This has been a very tight battle between Alabama and Georgia from the very beginning of his recruitment. Proximity to home, relationship with the new head coach should pay off.
The pick: Georgia

Shyheim Carter, four-star cornerback from Kentwood High School in La.
Bone says
: It was very close to putting him as a 'toss-up'. Alabama felt good about its chances prior to the Ole Miss visit. I think Alabama is still in good shape here.
The pick: Alabama

Jared Mayden, four-star cornerback from Sachse High School in Texas
Bone says:
Jeremy Pruitt did a really good job recruiting Mayden when he became the defensive coordinator. Mayden is an Oklahoma legacy, but the Tide is in great shape.
The pick: Alabama

Ahmmon Richards, four-star wide receiver from Wellington High School in La.
Bone says:
Alabama wants another receiver in this class. It won't be Richards.
The pick: Miami

D'Vaughn Pennamon, four-star running back from Manvel High School in Texas
Bone says:
Pennamon had a great official visit to Alabama, and had a lot of great things to say about the Crimson Tide. However, the Ole Miss commitment had a great time in Oxford this weekend. Expect him to stick, but Texas A&M is a threat.
The pick: Ole Miss

Irvin Smith, three-star tight end from Brother Martin High School in New Orleans, La.
Bone says:
Smith decommitted from Texas A&M prior to his visit to Alabama.
The pick: Alabama

Joshua Jacobs, three-star running back from McLain High School in Tulsa, Okla.
Bone says:
Alabama wants another running back in the class. Jacobs received an offer from Nick Saban a few days ago.
The pick: Alabama

Jamar King, three-star defensive tackle from Mendocino C.C. in Ukiah, Calif.
Bone says
: Alabama wants to add another defensive lineman. King is a good bet to land in this class.
The pick: Alabama

Tyler Simmons, three-star wide receiver from McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Ga.
Bone says:
UGA has put forth quite an effort recruiting Simmons, but his family wants him to stick with his commitment to the Tide.
The pick: Alabama

Scott Lashley, three-star offensive tackle from West Point High School in Miss.
Bone says:
Keep an eye on this one. Bama, Mississippi State, LSU in the final three.
The pick: Bama

So my current picks for Alabama's class: Ben Davis, Mack Wilson, Terrell Hall, Nigel Knott, Jared Mayden, Shyheim Carter, Scott Lashley, Irvin Smith, Jamar King, Joshua Jacobs. Toss up: Mique Juarez

Expecting guys like Kobe Jones and Scott Lashley to stay in Mississippi.

Note these are current predictions. Might change between now and prior to the announcement. Nigel Knott will commit on Monday. His prediction is final.
