Ohio State recruiting: State Secrets, 3/8 - One big visitor (lghl)
Ohio State played host to a 6-foot 5-inch, 260-pound bruiser from Lakota East on Thursday while the SEC's top two programs offered scholarships to several Buckeye targets. Check out the recruit's reactions and all of Thursday's recruiting news.
A product of Lakota East, 2014 offensive guard Jarrett LaRubbio made the trek from Middletown to Columbus to watch the Buckeyes' second spring practice of 2013. LaRubbio is listed at 6'5", 260 pounds and holds offers from Pittsburgh, Akron, Arizona State, Bowling Green, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ohio, and Toledo. Despite being unranked by most major recruiting websites, LaRubbio will surely garner many more offers and attain some sort of star ranking soon.

Rutgers recruiting: Manalapan's Saeed Blacknall expands on Tuesday's unofficial visit (nj)
Wednesday, NJ.com provided impressions from recruits who were on Rutgers' campus Tuesday for unofficial visits. Manalapan (N.J.) wide receiver, Saeed Blacknall, was arguably the most sought-after recruit in attendance. Find out the full gamut of his feelings about the Scarlet Knights after his latest visit to the Rutgers campus.
"Today was a great day at Rutgers," Blacknall told NJ.com Tuesday evening. "I got to meet the new staff members, coach Prince and Wilson. They explained to me how I was going to fit in at Rutgers."
According to Blacknall, he found out Tuesday that there was another side to the Rutgers program that he knew little about, previously.
"Today was a different type of visit that gave me a deeper insight into Rutgers football, and made me understand the mission Rutgers is trying to accomplish," he said.

La Salle WR Derek Kief taking recruiting journey in stride despite 16 scholarship offers (cincinnati)
La Salle junior wide receiver Derek Kief was surprised with the arrival of three scholarship offers all on the same day this week.
But, while he is genuinely pleased with the additional offers, he is still keeping his recruiting journey in perspective.
Kief was called out of English class March 7 and spoke with Alabama head coach Nick Saban for about 25 minutes on the phone near lunch time. Alabama became Kief’s 14th offer and Saban extolled the aspects of the Crimson Tide program, Kief said.
Alabama, which had been showing interest the past few weeks, was one of three offers Kief received March 7. West Virginia and Wisconsin followed up later that night bringing Kief’s total offer count to 16 before this weekend.
Kief, who is 6 feet 5 and 190 pounds, also has offers from UC, Ohio State, Vanderbilt, Ohio University, Maryland, Bowling Green, Kent State, Kentucky, Northwestern, Boston College, Indiana, Illinois and Toledo.

Say that Arkansas offered Berger. I immediately grew red with anger. I hate Bert.
Taver Johnson knows Ohio, I would guess he's the point man on this one.
didn't know he recruited the area. But I just said that more so that Bert sucks, heh.
Wonder how LaRubbios' visit went?? And saw we offered a OT from Alabama!! Hope Blair comes for a visit!!
SCOTTC.
I wouldn't be surprised if the OT from Alabama offer wasn't a "back-at-ya" to Saban for his glenville offres. Otherwise I like the wide net we are casting, even though I see no chance with the Texas A&M legacy.
Awesome to see that my alma mater is actually producing decent football talent for once. Go East!
I wouldn't cheer for Michigan if they were playing the Taliban.
Ethan Wolf, TE, is visiting Nebraska this weekend. Anyone around here watch him play?

Why do people speed up recruiting videos? Do they really believe no one will notice? Kyler Murrays film is at blazing speed.
I kind of like Jamabo, he's not just SoSo, he's actually pretty good !!!
Good player's make the play's they're suppose to, great player's make the play's they're NOT !!!
I really want this kid, if only for the awesome Paul Keels sound bites.
The Kyler Murray offer is a little puzzling.... The staff has been pretty tight with giving out qb offers.... Couldn't find anything on this kid in the Rivals or 247 data bases... Who is he? Is this offer legit?
He's a 2015 offer.
I know that OL is the main priority for the 2014 class but what's up with offering more and more guys and these 2 aren't even rated? I thought there were more than enough nationally ranked OL who are all highly interested in OSU
Why should it matter if they're nationally ranked? If they're good enough to solicit an UFM offer, that should be enough proof of their skill.

Parris Campbell wasnt ranked either now look at him. Plus staffs like ours get paid the big bucks to know more about these kids abilities a year or two before their classes rankings come out.
