Division II will be where it’s at in Ohio this weekend as far as Ohio State commits are concerned.

Darron Lee (New Albany, Ohio/New Albany), Cam Burrows (Trotwood, Ohio/Trotwood) and Jayme Thompson (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic) each reached the state semifinals with their teams. Lee and Burrows will square off in one semifinal on Friday night, and Thompson is slated for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff against Aurora in the other.

Here’s how the 17 Ohio State commits fared over the weekend in high school action:

J.T. Barrett: Rider (Texas) quarterback is out for season with knee injury. His team beat Dunbar 44-26 in bi-district round of Class 4A Division II playoffs.

Marcus Baugh: John W. North (Calif.) tight end season finished.

Joey Bosa: Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas defensive tackle held Miami Beach to one touchdown in 42-7 Class 7A opening round victory.

Cam Burrows: Trotwood-Madison cornerback recorded six tackles in 42-14 Division II, Region 8 win over Cincinnati Turpin.

Ezekiel Elliott: John Burroughs (Mo.) and its running back advanced to a third consecutive Class 3 title game with 28-6 win over Monett. Elliott rushed for 233 yards and scored three touchdowns to bring career total to 97 scores.

Tim Gardner: Lawrence Central (Ind.) offensive tackle helped Bears rush for 305 yards in 28-15 Class 5A semifinal win over Center Grove.

Michael Hill: Pendleton (S.C.) defensive tackle season finished.

Taivon Jacobs: Suitland (Md.) wide receiver caught 7 passes for 88 yards and scored touchdown in 41-6 Maryland 4A South regional final loss to Wise.

Darron Lee: New Albany safety sealed 32-30 Division II, Region 7 win over Marion-Franklin with interception in waning moments. He also scored two touchdowns from quarterback position and returned punt for another score.

Tyquan Lewis: Tarboro (N.C.) defensive end/linebacker watched Vikings jump out to 30-point lead as team beat Northeastern 52-24 in third round of 2A playoffs.

Evan Lisle: Centerville (Ohio) offensive tackle season finished.

Jalin Marshall: Middletown (Ohio) athlete season finished.

Billy Price: Austintown Fitch (Ohio) defensive tackle season finished.

Tracy Sprinkle: Elyria (Ohio) defensive tackle season finished.

Jayme Thompson: Toledo Central Catholic safety held Michigan commit Ross Douglas to 26 yards receiving and 16 yards rushing, intercepted pass for touchdown and recorded sack in 42-14 Division II, Region 6 final win over Avon. Douglas finished with 69 yards rushing, but 53 came in fourth quarter with Thompson on bench.

Johnny Townsend: Orlando (Fla.) Boone punter season finished.

Eli Woodard: Eastern (N.J.) cornerback caught 8-yard touchdown pass on offense to lead team to a 41-38 win over River North in Group 5 postseason opener.

Let the trash-talking begin.

When Maryland announced it was joining the Big Ten on Monday, it set forth an interesting situation in the Jacobs household.

Taivon Jacobs (Forestville, Md./Suitland) is a senior wide receiver ticketed to play at Ohio State next fall as a 2013 Buckeyes commit. His brother Levern is a freshman wide receiver for the Terrapins.

GEORGETOWN, Ky. – Andrew Wiggins, the nation’s No. 1 basketball prospect and a top recruiting target of the University of Kentucky, had 17 points (6 of 18 from the floor, 4 of 9 on free throws) and 11 rebounds on Sunday in helping his team, Huntington (W.Va.) Prep, defeat North Carolina’s Christian Faith Academy 61-44 on Sunday at Scott County High School.

There were more than 2,000 fans in attendance, most of whom were wearing some kind of UK apparel. So were UK coach John Calipari, assistants Orlando Antigua and Kenny Payne and UK players Kyle Wiltjer, Jarrod Polson and Brian Long.

Wiggins, formerly the nation’s No. 1 junior who recently reclassified to 2013, signed autographs for a line of dozens of fans after the game. Before that, he spoke with the media, reflecting on his game, the crowd and where his recruitment stands.

From what I've seen of Gardner, once he gets his hands on you, it's over. He's a really good run blocker and will blow up anything in his path if he gets moving, esp on a trap or a pull. I love that Urban said, if u lose the weight we will offer, and he did. That shows me great work ethic, committment and drive to be better. I think he's gonna be another steal and will be a very good interior lineman at OSU.

I wonder if the NCAA shoe is ever going to drop on Callipari and UK? I mean it's dropped on him at his other schools. I would think it's just a matter of time before the same happens at UK.

I'm sure Worley is a nice kid, and I wish him luck anywhere but here.

 

Guess I am unpopular lately ... first I finally admitted that I've thought Ted Ginn was never great and never near where a consistent contributor should be.

 

Now I'm actively knocking the Glenville pipeline ... I hate watching C Bryant play (coverage in OT Saturday excepted) and I am sick of grade challenged, personal foul gathering, overhyped kids.

Do not want to be unkind, particularly because they are kids.     HOWEVER, none of the Glenville kids have endeared themselves to me.  I like Hankins and Simon and Rolle and Baugh and Boren and Miller  .... they didn't screw around during recruiting or change their announcement dates or get called out for not learning the defense, or hurt themselves during stupid celebrations, or pick up a bunch of personal fouls, or intimate that they would go elsewhwere if their DB friend wasn't lured away from W Virginia, or any of the other crap that Mr. Ginn and his kids pull every year

I hope this kid comes on board. I do like his play. Very hard hitter.

On a side note, Mcmillan has Clemson as best visit yet, and now he is coming to the shoe for the game?

Ouch ... hard to argue, so I'll call him the exception to the rule!??!

I think many have voiced their opinions about Glenville kids on here and it's not always been very complimentary.  There definitely have been some greats, and Ginn was certainly great in Columbus, maybe not afterward, but that has no bearing on how good he was here.  There have been plenty of headaches from Glenville too or kids like Small and Rose who never lived up to their hype.  Anyway, I don't hate kids from Glenville or anything, but it's about 50/50 whether they'll be awesome or worthless usually.

they didn't screw around during recruiting or change their announcement dates or get called out for not learning the defense

Wait, so kids can't change their announcement dates if they aren't decided where they want to go to college for the next 3-4 years? What? It affects them for the rest of their life, let 'em make decisions when they're ready. We honestly have no business judging these kids for changing their minds or delaying a decision.

Agreed Urbz.

And I'll continue to like the honor student, rah rah, follow-the-rules kids and continue not to  like the go for the big hit while missing tackles, miss class and don't learn the defense kids.

Seems like the only question is whether Worley's offer was committable. If yes, he's a Buckeye. If not, he'll be somewhere else.

Thinking he's a Buckeye. Maybe the Worley and Lattimore families can start arranging car pools?

Let's give the Glenville thing a rest....

I've got a question.  Does anyone know who Urban is personally visiting for the last recruit spots?

I'd feel alittle disapointed if some of the last few kids that have gone elsewhere were visited by Mr Meyer and still said no to TOSU.
