• In discus throwing, Fitch's Billy Price finished second after winning the districts. After he threw his final disc, Price walked over to his family and coach T.J. Koniowsky with a disgruntled look, stating he underestimated his opponents. "I kind of overthought this meeting," Price said. "I thought I was going to be a walk-in and just didn't take to the full potential what these guys could actually do."

Don't expect a signature moment when Robert Foster makes his college decision. No television cameras will be necessary.

Monaca (Pa.) Central Valley head coach Mark Lyons said his superstar receiver won't have a lineup of hats in front of him when he announces his commitment, likely sometime this fall. The nation's second-best receiver prospect in the country will try to break the news quietly. That's just his nature.

Lyons describes Foster as the very opposite of the typical diva receiver football fans have come to expect. Foster isn't comfortable with interviews and – believe it or not – is quite modest.

Recruiting updates: Andrews gets Ohio State offer

Never a dull moment this spring at Scottsdale Desert Mountain, as Ohio State football coaches swept through today to watch 2014s Kyle Allen throw to Mark Andrews.

Ohio State quickly offered the 6-foot-6, 225-pound Andrews, but told Desert Mountain coach Tony Tabor they would have to wait for the big guy -- head coach Urban Meyer -- to see Allen in person before they can offer him.

"I tell you what, Kyle is right there with Mark," Tabor said. "The head guy has to call the shot on the quarterback a lot of times. Kyle is going to Ohio State's camp this summer. Once he walks on campus, they're going to offer him."

Andrews is  up to seven offers (Ohio State, Nebraska, Michigan, UCLA, Oregon State, Arizona, Arizona) and Allen has four (Boise State, Oklahoma State, UCLA, North Carolina).

Andrews said his recruiting has picked up based on his sophomore football film and college coaches coming to Desert Mountain to see him in spring workouts. The Ohio State offer, he says, is huge.

"I'm definitely interested in them," Andrews said.

Andrews is devoting much of his time to getting stronger and faster for football. He said he throws every week with Allen.

Tabor said he is pleased with both players for staying grounded through the recruiting craze that has never hit Desert Mountain this big before.

"I feel blessed to get those two good kids," Tabor said. "They're such good kids. Coaches comment about how respectful they are. They're good students. They're good for the team. They realize if they don't have those big boys up front blocking for them, they wouldn't get any of this."

Andrews said he is surprised by all of the early interest from major colleges.

"It's a new thing for me," he said. "I'm taking it as it comes. I'm working on getting stronger and faster and gettinbg the mental part of the game down."

Desert Mountain won't play in Saturday's Chandler Hamilton Under Armour 7-on-7 tournament, but will be at the University of Arizona the following Saturday for a 7-on-7 passing tourney. Tabor said with this being Memorial Day weekend, he wanted his players to use the weekend to "chill" and come back  strong for three consecutive weekends of tournaments.

- Cave Creek Cactus Shadows 2013 receiver Kyle Gladstone, 6-4, 205, said he has gained 18 pounds since he underwent surgery in early September to repair a torn anterior cruciate ligament in a knee. He said San Diego State is interested in him as a tight end, which means he would have to pack on some weight. He said he is open to playing anywhere, but says his metabolism is so fast that it's hard for him to gain weight.

"I am behind the eight ball in recruiting," Gladstone said. "I didn't have a junior season. I have to get my name out there. I'm looking to get bigger this summer and have a blow-out senior season."

Recruiting Notes: Josh McNeil Update

The Buckeyes would like to take two tight ends in the 2013 class, and Hillside (NC) High School tight end, Josh McNeil is the last on the board for the Buckeyes. Josh his a high upside prospect that has "blown up" following his junior season, which was his first playing football. I quickly talked with Josh about his leaders, visit to Ohio State, his upcoming decision, and more! Josh and I will be chatting again after his visit, which is in a couple of weeks. Make sure to chat back for that.

• Coach Withers was at Hillside checking in on Josh this past Thursday.
• Visiting Ohio State June 21st. 
• On what he's looking forward to seeing on the visit: "Talking to Coach Meyer face-to-face. Also seeing if I'd want to call Ohio State home for 4 years of my life, I need to feel comfortable there."
• What he likes about Ohio State: "The chance to win a championship and Urban Meyer."
• Also visiting Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and Miami before he decides.
• How big is Alabama's lead? "I would say it's only a small lead."
• On leaders: "Alabama is on top, there's really no order after that."
• Deciding July 5th at "The Opening" in Oregon.
• Will he take officials after he decides? "I will be done with recruiting after I decide July 5th at "The Opening." 
• In MY opinion, still in the running: Alabama, Ohio State, Florida, Miami, and Georgia.

Introduction to 2014 OL Rod Johnson

Offensive line is one major area of need for the Buckeyes. While you will probably see three offensive linemen in the 2013 class, that will not be enough to fix the issues along the offensive line. One potential target in the 2014 class is Hazelwood Central (MO) offensive linemen Rod Johnson. Standing at 6'7" 310 pounds, Rod is one of the top offensive linemen in the class of 2014. While Rod has yet to have too much contact with the Buckeyes, look for things on that front to pick up in the very near future, as Rod is one of those "can't miss" prospects in the 2014 class. I had the chance to chat with Rod earlier this evening, we chatted about his recruitment, potential visits, and more! Make sure to keep a close eye on Rod, as I'm sure you'll see the Buckeyes extend him an offer in the not too distant future. I will be keeping in-touch with Rod throughout his recruitment, make sure to check back for more updates on this standout 2014 offensive linemen.
