ARIZONA
National rankings (Rivals 28; Scout 29)
Best in class: Cam Denson, WR, Tucson, Ariz.
Best of the rest: Jamardre Cobb, LB, Harbor City, Calif.; LB Marquis Ware, LB, Bellflower, Calif.; QB Jerrard Randall, QB, NE Mississippi CC; T.J. Johnson, WR, Cape Coral, Fla.
Late addition: Marcus Griffin, DL, Bellevue, Wash.
One that got away: Jalen Tabor, CB, Washington, D.C.
NOTES: With the addition of Randall and high schooler Brandon Dawkins (Oxnard, Calif.), Rich Rodriguez has a bunch of quarterbacks to choose from as he looks for a replacement for senior B.J. Denker. "Some people say I collect quarterbacks," Rodriguez said. "Yeah, I do. It's better than collecting seashells." ... The defection of CB Naijiel Hale to Washington was accompanied by a good riddance sort of message from Rodriguez. Not mentioning Hale by name, he said if a player makes a commitment, then visits another school, he's not committed anymore. "He didn't marry you, he's just dating you," Rodriguez said. "I keep reminding guys it's our scholarship, not theirs."

ARIZONA STATE
National rankings (Rivals 21; Scout 17).
Best in class: D.J. Calhoun. The linebacker from El Cerrito High School in California has the potential to be an immediate difference-maker for the Sun Devils. He was the highest-rated player in Arizona State's 2014 class and is equally adept at playing in coverage or stopping the run. Calhoun enrolled in January and will take part in spring drills, so he should have a head start on the other freshmen.
Best of the rest: WR Eric Lauderdale, a transfer from Saddleback CC in California, has the chance to be a big-threat player alongside Jaelen Strong. Coach Todd Graham also picked up a couple of quarterbacks for the first time at ASU, and both Manny Wilkins and Coltin Gerhart could be the successor to Taylor Kelly when he leaves. Local product Tyler Whiley could have an impact on both sides of the ball, though he may stick to playing receiver.
Late addition: Defensive back Kweishi Brown, a transfer from Grossmont CC in El Cajon, Calif., waited until the last day to make a decision, but could have an immediate impact on the Sun Devils in the secondary next season.
NOTE: Arizona State is still waiting on the decision of Kalen Ballage, a running back from Falcon High School in Colorado. The Sun Devils appear to have the inside track and adding him would be a huge boost to this year's class.

Best in class: Tre Watson, RB, Corona, Calif.
Best of the rest: LB Chandler Leniu, Lakewood, Calif.; ATH Devante Downs, Mountlake Terrace, Wash.; WR Erik Brown, Fontana, Calif.; QB Luke Rubenezer, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Late addition: LB Hamilton Anoa'i, San Mateo, Calif.
One that got away: ATH Koa Farmer, Sherman Oaks, Calif., to Penn State.
NOTE: "Tre Watson was probably as good a football player and productive a player as anybody in high school football this year. His numbers were astronomical and he did that against the best competition in the state." -- Coach Sonny Dykes

COLORADO
National rankings (Rivals 64; Scout 72).
Best in class: WR Shay Fields, Bellflower, Calif.
Best of the rest: TE Dylan Keeney, Granite Bay, Calif., DE Terran Hasselbach, Parker, Colo.
Late addition: ATH Jay MacIntyre, Boulder, Colo.
One that got away: OL Elijah Rodriguez, Houston.
NOTE: DE Terran Hasselbach, a 6-foot-1, 235-pounder from Regis High School in Parker, Colo., is the son of former Denver Broncos DL Harald Hasselbach. Terran had 11 sacks, 35 hurries, four forced fumbles and three pass breakups as a senior -- his only year of high school football. He was in a near-fatal car accident with his father right before the start of the freshman football season in 2010 and wasn't cleared until his junior year, but a fluke shoulder injury sidelined him until his senior season.

NOTE: Coach Mark Helfrich on the ones that got away: "I'm sure my wife wishes she married George Clooney. ... She moved on. We will too."

Best in class: CB-WR Adoree Jackson, Gardena, Calif.
Best of the rest: OG Damien Mama, Bellflower, Calif.; WR Rahshead Johnson, Long Beach, Calif.; CB Jonathan Lockett, Santa Ana, Calif.; LB Olajuwon Tucker, Gardena, Calif.; TE Bryce Dixon, Ventura, Calif.
Late addition: S Juju Smith, Long Beach, Calif.
One that got away: LB Fred Warner, Mission Hills, Calif.
NOTE: "All in all, it was a fascinating process to have about a month where it was an absolute dead period in recruiting. To finish the way we did a 2½ week span was really incredible." -- Steve Sarkisian

STANFORD
National rankings (Rivals 14; Scout 15).
Best in class: Solomon Thomas, DE.
Best of the rest: Keller Chryst, QB, Palo Alto (Calif.); Dalton Schultz, TE, Bingham (South Jordan, Utah); Casey Tucker, OT, Hamilton (Gilbert, Ariz.).
Late addition: Thomas.
One that got away: Uriah Leiataua, DE, Dominguez, Compton, Calif. (BYU).
NOTE: Stanford filled a major hole on its defensive line with Thomas. The Cardinal also made their biggest marks at the most important offensive positions with Chryst, Schultz, Tucker and running back Christian McCaffrey. The only real downer on the day was losing Leiataua, who had been verbally committed to Stanford for a month until signing with BYU.

WASHINGTON
National rankings (Rivals 38; Scout 38).
Best in class: Budda Baker, DB, Bellevue, Wash. The AP state player of the year in Washington was originally committed to Oregon, but decided he wanted to play closer to home. Major coup for Chris Petersen in his first season.

Late addition: Baker capped the recruiting class with his announcement on Tuesday night on local TV of his decision to stay at home.
