The time has come for Chidi Valentine-Okeke.

The four-star offensive tackle will announce his college football commitment during "Next Class 2015" on Fox Sports South tonight at 9 p.m. CT.

Valentine-Okeke has narrowed his choices down to Alabama, Auburn and LSU. He visited Tuscaloosa and Auburn last month and was in Baton Rouge last weekend.

The 6-foot-6, 305-pounder is ranked as the No. 5 offensive tackle in the country in the 247Sports Composite. Check out our staff predictions for his commitment and cast your vote in our poll below.

Wesley Sinor | Prediction: AUBURN

Auburn still needs to take an offensive tackle in the 2015 cycle and has had its sights set on Martez Ivey, the nation's top overall prospect. Ivey is undecided between Auburn and Florida, so I think the Tigers will gladly take Valentine-Okeke. If Ivey later decides he wants to sign with Auburn as well, it's likely the Tigers will take both.

Drew Champlin | Prediction: LSU

I don't really have a clue, and I know Alabama and Auburn would take him, so a fun curve ball would be to say LSU.

John Talty | Prediction: AUBURN

I could see Chidi going a number of different directions but he has seemingly been primarily considering Alabama and Auburn, and the Tide could be full after taking Isaiah Prince. I don't feel particularly confident but my informed gut says Auburn.

Not so fast....

That was supposed to be yesterday and he decided not to decide. Apparently there was a snag at the dealership and his car wasn't delivered on time by the Crimson Cabal. Was advised to wait until it was stored in the garage and lined up for new rims. Plus Al-Betar is running out of chartreuse fabric and had to get a few more reams in to make the suits for all these recruits.

Yep. Soon as I read "delayed," I heard the coming of the Lord. He's going to Bama. No doubt about it.

Also delayed after an in home from Bammer. Supposedly. Said he changed his mind. No I'm not joking at all. It's like soap opera level shit every year.

Also rumors though that he has been a big Auburn guy but he doesn't want to go to the same place as Ivey. I think I read some where that that is the reason he has been delaying his choice to go to Auburn.

Has he got a problem with Ivey or is he just worried about competing? Anyway, since Patrick Miller declared, there's a huge void on the line and he should have a great shot.

Great shot at what, starting? He'd become the first player in NCAA to start, as a true freshman, at a D1 University without ever playing in High School. This upcoming year will be his second year to play the game. Chidi is the poster boy for the "project player" tag. The reason why he's considered a 3* or 4* prospect is strictly due to camps and measurables.

There's a void? I think our line got better

This is the dumbest thing I've read on this board. You really believe he could come in and start as a true freshman? I mean come on.

Idiot.

If he was muscled-up with a neard he might have a chance to play some. But start?
We don't even know his hand size.

Holy shit you are dumb! What kind of logic is this? You think we suck so bad that a true freshman should just be able to come in and start no questions asked? God you are an idiot. And an idiot with no balls which makes it worse.

Yep. Agreed on the comments re: the idiot poster. But I would like to remind everyone about being encouragers instead of critics. As far as stupid ass idiotic comments and questions go, this idiot poster is at the top of his game and says by far the stupidest stuff on the Internet. A moron, indeed.
