Recruiting roundup: 2 elite California WRs trim lists; Oregon hosts 2 of nation's top prospects

It's been a busy past few days on the recruiting trail, as a few of the top playmakers in California have made major cuts and two national prospects look poised to commit to perennial powerhouse programs.

Here's a look at the top recruiting stories of the past few days on SBLive Sports:

- Washington five-star edge-rusher Jayden Wayne sets Oregon Ducks official visit

"I really like coach (Dan) Lanning and coach (Tosh) Lupoi," he said. "Coach Lupoi always takes the extra time when we meet. He truly loves to train." 

- Versatile JC offensive lineman Cooper Lovelace commits to USC Trojans, will enroll next week

"I told them in my exit interview that I'm not going to make a decision while I'm in 'La La Land,' because everything looks better while you're here. I'm going to take Dorothy, we're going to head back to Kansas and sleep on it."

Less than a week later, he committed. 

- North Little Rock's Nick Smith Jr. named nation's No. 1 overall prospect in final rankings

Here's what 247Sports had to say about naming Smith the nation's top prospect:

"So, what makes Smith No. 1? Today’s game dictates that guards must be capable of generating their own offense. Whether it be out of pick and roll action, with a shot clock winding down or just a situation where guy needs to go and make a play, if a guard can’t generate offense on their own, their ceiling will be limited. Smith can do all of that and he does it with an electric first step, bounce at the rim and some flair."

- Nation's No. 25 QB Aidan Chiles remains high on Oregon State, but Washington, Oregon offers change recruitment

Chiles had set a commitment date for June 1 and was ready to commit to Oregon State.

Now, he'll wait.

"This pushed it back," he said. "June 1 was my commitment date and I knew where I was going. Plans changed." 

- Massive 6-foot-7, 280-pound offensive lineman Elishah Jackets trims list to final five

Jackett has scheduled official visits to California, UCLA and Washington, while Ole Miss and Texas A&M also made the cut 

- Washington offensive line prospect William Buzzard commits to Eastern Washington, where his father was an All-American

 "It was a dream school, so it couldn’t get much better in my mind. They are a perennial FCS national title contender," Buzzard said. 

- Carlsbad 5-star quarterback Julian Sayin receives Alabama, LSU offers 

Sayin has talked to LSU for about a month, while the interest from Alabama is fairly new.

Either way, he said there's "definitely a lot of interest in those programs."

"The visit went really well," Evans said. "The coaching staff is really nice and I saw everything. It was very nice. On the visit they showed me their top notch facilities with Nike right there. The food spots there is good and its just a lot good things over there. It's a small town with not a lot of people but when you lock in you can do what you want to do.”
