Here's my stab at who I think we sign on National Signing Day:
Seantrel Henderson, OT (start with a bang!)
Markeith Ambles, WR
Josh Shirley, OLB
Christian Thomas, TE
Nickell Robey, CB
Demar Dorsey, S
John Cullen, OT
Glen Stanley, LB
Soma Vainuku, FB
Sean Parker, S
I still consider Giovanni Di Poalo a commit (albeit soft) so it's a matter of him decommitting or not. It'd be a complete guess, but I think he sticks with SC. I also think, as I've mentioned before, that Dak Smith is out.
So with that said, we have 12 current commits, and I think we take 10 players on National Signing Day whether it's the list above or completely different. You might be wondering, "Well that only adds up to 22 commits which is well short of the scholarships available!"
Here's where I go out on a limb and say Lane purposely keeps this class small in anticipation of the NCAA sanctions coming up later this month. Yes, call me crazy. I think the NCAA buckets everything under "lack of institutional control" and docks us 5-7 scholarships (over several years) which would round out the leftover scholarships.
Gotta give me some points for thinking outside the box ;).

Pretty bad list overall but there are some great calls mixed in with a lot of horrible ones. Here's my breakdown:
Great Calls
Good Calls
Horrible Calls
Definitely not an exhaustive list by any means but those are my thoughts based off a handful of glances. Leave your thoughts.

Hate to say it, but he seems Notre Dame bound.

From SCPlaybook.com:
“I have a great relationship with the coaching staff and I love Coach Seto,” Bailey said of the Trojans. “It’s great to be coached by someone like that, and be around that type of coaching staff with their background, and their history of winning.
“They produce players for the NFL so it’s a great opportunity.”
Bailey recently attended USC’s Rising Stars Camp and said the time that he spent on campus with the USC staff aided him greatly in his final decision.
“It showed me how they run practices and how they like things done,” Bailey said. “We model our practices after them at Lakewood, so I felt right at home.
Solid pick-up once again following the Anthony Brown commitment last week. That's two good defensive backs added to the list in less than a week. With guys like Byron Moore, Jawanza Starling, and T.J. McDonald from last year's class the future looks bright in the secondary.
DB Recruiting Done?
Even with Dion committed, I think SC will pick up another safety and definitely another corner. The most logical pick at Safety would be Dietrich Riley who can play both positions. Another name to consider is Demetrius Wright, who I've been very high on. Finally you got Sean Parker, who is my favorite safety in the 2010 class, but he seems to be going elsewhere.
Will Jesse Scroggins Follow?
Many expect Jesse Scroggins to follow through with a commitment to SC now that his high school buddy has made his announcement. I would be shocked if he chose otherwise.

Good sign that he showed up on the 2nd day. It'd be a waste to see this guy go to Notre Dame. We need to lockdown South LA.

From WeAreSC.com:
The biggest names in attendance during the morning session were Ronald Powell, Jackson Jeffcoat, Jesse Scroggins, Dion Bailey, Dietrich Riley, Tony Jefferson, Ricky Heimuli, Dak Smith, Dontae Williams, Dillon Baxter, Trajuan Briggs, George Uko, Tyler Bray, Chase Rettig, Anthony Jefferson, Joshua Shaw, DeMarco Cobbs, Shaquille Richardson, Troy Niklas, Dak Smith, Anthony Brown, D.J. Morgan (did not participate), Justin Maclin, Josh Harper, Greg Townsend Jr., Victor Burnett, Tevin McDonald, Victor Blackwell, Jalen Grimble Tehvyn Brantley, Nick Rowland and Christian Westerman.
Prospects slotted to attend, although noticeably absent Wednesday morning, included Robert Woods (who did stop by), George Farmer, Lache Seastrunk, Erik Kohler, Trovon Reed, Cassius Marsh, Toney Hurd Jr., Demetrius Wright, Hayes Pullard, Giovanni DiPoala, Antwuan Woods, Soma Vainuka, Devon Blackmon, Marquis Flowers, Owamagbe Odighazuwa and Chris Martin.
Very disappointed to hear that Demetrius Wright and Sean Parker weren't at the camp. Both have gone on record saying they would attend RSC, but maybe they'll show up for the other days. Apart from Demetrius and Sean, it's good to see that all the key recruits were present. Lache, Trovon Reed, and Chris Martin are all long shots at this point, so I'm not very disappointed to see their absence.

92. Pete Thomas, QB (CA)
Bold = Current Commits
Lot of speculation came out of the Army All-American bowl as to whether Lache Seastrunk favored us since he was wearing SC socks (picture above) during practices - in all likelihood, probably shouldn't put too much stock in it.

Some thoughts on USC's Junior Day:
"Just being around the players and coaches on Saturday was incredible. They have so much energy and you get fired up being around them. They have a great football program and who wouldn't want to be a part of a team like that."
One of his best friends and former teammates is '09 commit, Byron Moore, so hopefully that'll provide some pull in bringing in Sean.
