Two area holdouts close in on decisions

Christian Scott and William Cole appear to have a common goal – to take away any suspense left in the 2007 local recruiting season.

Scott, the safety from Skyline, and Cole, SportsDay's Offensive Player of the Year from Cedar Hill, both are expected to make their college selection in the next few days. They are the only two recruits left in SportsDay's area top 20 that have not made a college commitment.

Oral commitments are nonbinding. The first day a recruit can sign a national letter of intent is Wednesday.

Scott, No. 7 on SportsDay's Area Top 100, will decide between Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and LSU. Scott has remained tight-lipped about what college he will choose and when he will decide.

"There is a chance [it could be Sunday], but I'm not saying I am," Scott said. "I still want to sit down and think about it."

Cole, No. 6 on the Area Top 100, will make his announcement at 10 p.m. tonight on Ch. 4. Since Cole decided against visiting a college this weekend, his choice will come down to Arkansas, Kansas and Oklahoma State.

...And Christian Scott?

Talked to Skyline's Christian Scott today, and he said he is still undecided and that he's not sure when he'll make his announcement.

I'm not sure what this means. I caught Scott in class -- it's difficult to predict which seniors have early release and which ones don't -- so he didn't have time to talk.

One of Skyline's assistant coaches told Rivals.com that Scott's decision will come on Sunday.
