Oregon Ducks fans are going to have to sweat out Wednesday’s commitment of 247Sports five-star linebacker Justin Flowe, the nation’s top remaining uncommitted prospect.

So, buckle up.

Here’s an update of the news and internet rumors surrounding Flowe’s upcoming decision:

The 6-foot-2, 225-pound 'backer released a top four of Clemson, Georgia, Miami (Fla.) and Oregon in the summer, but it appeared to be a Clemson-Oregon battle as recently as last week.

However, Clemson hosted, offered and secured the commitment of five-star linebacker Trenton Simpson over the weekend, leading to speculation that the Tigers may have pivoted away from Flowe, knowing they weren’t going to get a commitment from him.

Five-star quarterback and Clemson pledge D.J. Uiagalelei indirectly indicated that wasn’t the case on social media, however, commenting on social media that in a recent picture of him with Flowe they were discussing joining forces in the ACC.

What we was really taking about in this picture is how we was finna change the game by going to Clemson together 👀‼️‼️ @justin_flowe https://t.co/WvZGgZZC6A — 🌟 DJ Uiagalelei 🌟 (@DJUiagalelei) December 15, 2019

The recent Clemson developments are, of course, good news for Oregon, particularly when combined with the pro-Duck rumblings of those close to Flowe’s recruitment over the past several days.

I put in a prediction of “Justin Flowe to Oregon” on Saturday, and 247Sports’ most recent nine crystal ball predictions have all come in as “Flowe to Oregon," based on the percentages available.

But the Ducks shouldn’t celebrate just yet.

Over the weekend, Flowe took an official visit to USC, leading to speculation the Trojans have surged in his recruitment.

On Monday morning, Rivals national recruiting experts Woody Wommack and Mike Farrell taped a video discussing the situation and both predicted he’d choose Oregon - with significant hesitation from Farrell, who said both Clemson and USC have a shot.

Nemec’s analysis

No doubt, Oregon fans are terrified Flowe’s recruitment is the latest in a long line of elite California prospects who have looked like future Ducks in the lead-up to Signing Day only to have a change-of-heart at the last minute and choose the in-state Trojans.

I always say that the team that hosts the last visit has a chance, and that is particularly the case when the last visit is to a local program, but I still feel Flowe will choose Oregon on Signing Day.

Late changes of heart happen all the time. These are teenagers making a life-altering decision, after all.

But the Ducks have done the work, and connecting Flowe with defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, linebacker Noah Sewell and others to form an elite defensive front-seven is an intriguing sales pitch.

It’s not a slam dunk, but I still predict Flowe to Oregon.
