Updated Class of 2013 team recruiting rankings

16. Florida State
Number of verbal commitments: 8
Key recruit: Austin Golson
Still on the board: E.J. Levenberry
Next year's name to know: Joseph Yearby
2015 recruit to follow: De'Andre Johnson
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Korey Charles
If it can close with the top in-state players, Florida State will enjoy a strong finish and maintain its spot in the Top 20 and perhaps higher. If it falters toward Signing Day, it will be far behind state rival Florida and potentially Miami.

17. Vanderbilt
Number of verbal commitments: 9
Key recruit: Johnathon McCrary
Still on the board: Cornelius Elder
Next year's name to know: Akeem Cooperwood
2015 recruit to follow: Rico McGraw
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Gabe Angel
McCrary is clearly the centerpiece of this class while Elder, a hometown target, hangs in the balance. There's a boon of young in-state talent over the next few recruiting cycles, so James Franklin has a chance to bring in some marquee players without looking too far.

18. Stanford
Number of verbal commitments: 3
Key recruit: Ryan Burns
Still on the board: Jordan Sherit
Next year's name to know: Coltin Gerhart
2015 recruit to follow: Canton Kaumatule
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Jared Goldwire
With only three recruits, it might be hard to justify having Stanford in the Top 20. However, there are schools with many more commitments who'd be happy to swap for the Cardinal's talented trio.

19. LSU
Number of verbal commitments: 11
Key recruit: John Diarse
Still on the board: Laremy Tunsil
Next year's name to know: Jabrill Peppers
2015 recruit to follow: Nick Brossette
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Jon Randall Belton
LSU fans are cautiously optimistic about this year's recruiting class after being stung hard last year by Gunner Kiel and Landon Collins. The Tigers landed their quarterback (Hayden Rettig) and now have to lock down top in-state players. Both locally and nationally, 2014 could be a very good year on the recruiting trail.

20. North Carolina
Number of verbal commitments: 9
Key recruit: R.J. Prince
Still on the board: Peter Kalambayi
Next year's name to know: Jonathan Lloyd
2015 recruit to follow: Lee Autry
For serious recruitniks only (2016): Brian Manuel
This class is well-stocked with offensive skill players, but currently lacks depth on both sides of the line. Prince is the lone exception; he'll be tasked with blocking for talented quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
