With the early signing period coming to a close tomorrow, I thought that it was time to update my college projections. In late August and early September, I picked 36 players and projected their college destination. In early October, I projected where 26 players would go, 23 of which were from the first go-around. Of the 39 total players, using the most up to date projections (so if I listed the player in August/September and October, only October counts) I correctly predicted the choice of 15 (including Abdul Gaddy, who did commit to Arizona as I predicted, but then de-committed and chose Washington, who I had second in line) of the 29 who have made a college choice, while for four of the players I had their actual choice as second in line to land them. Here's what I'm going with now:
