Rasco (ESPN)

For a long time, four-star DE Jermauria Rasco of Louisiana (No. 139 in the ESPNU 150) was thought to be headed to either Texas or LSU, but with former Longhorns defensive coordinator Will Muschamp now Florida's head coach, the Gators have become a serious player for Rasco.Rasco's coach, Phillip Deas, tells Edward Aschoff of the Gainesville Sun that Rasco is expected to visit Florida and Arkansas with his last two officials. Those two schools, LSU, Texas and Florida State make up his final five.

Like his previous decision, this one is expected to come down to whether Rasco feels the pull to stay in state or is willing to put his future in the hands of Muschamp. The fact that Rasco didn't know much about the Gators program before Muschamp was hired is not an issue. The Tigers' perhaps unstable coaching situation might have been a concern before, but with Les Miles' new extension, LSU's case is stronger.
