For a while now, most have believed that elite safety recruit Su'a Cravens is going to end up at USC. He is set to announce on June 6. But before making the call, the Murrieta (Calif.) Vista High School recruit will take unofficial visits to Michigan and Nebraska. Both schools are believed to be in Cravens' top group, along with Ohio State and UCLA. Cravens will leave for his visits on Tuesday.

Cravens also recently clarified that he did not release a top three or give exact dates of visits for each school
I never gave out dates or a top 3...

Cravens also tweeted that his academics are in good order:

Will the visits to Michigan and Nebraska be enough to sway Cravens from the prohibitive favorite USC? It's unlikely. But in recruiting, the most recent visit often has a disproportionate amount of pull with a kid, so there is certainly some hope for Michigan and Nebraska.
