Top 10 uncommitted 2024 California football recruits; Where they plan to take official visits

Six of the 10 all attend national juggernaut Mater Dei-Santa Ana, which figures to be the top preseason ranked team in the country to start 2023

We're closing in on the middle of June. In the old days, incoming seniors would just start getting their football recruiting lists in order. 

These days, 28 of the top 100 California recruits from the Class of 2024, according to 247Sports, have already committed to their colleges. The ratio is even higher among the top 20 recruits as eight have already picked their schools. 

Here are the top 10 California recruits who have yet to commit to a college program, with more than half of them attending surely what will be the top-ranked high school team in the state — if not the nation — Mater Dei of Santa Ana. 

The list also includes visits they've made and where they plan to make, many this week.
