This is how you know that the college game rules an area. The paper runs stories listing potential recruits. Down in Charleston, South Carolina a listing of players that have the Gamecocks on their list.

DL Josh Elizondo (6-2, 270) of Naples, Fla., is not attending camps this summer, preferring to spend most of his time working out and lifting weights. He said four schools that have moved to the front of his list are USC, Duke, Pittsburgh and N.C. State, with Duke the leader.

Elizondo is a 3-star defensive tackle, that apparently is best against the run (Insider subs.).

Elizondo is a tough and productive player in the trenches. Has the tools to develop into a productive starter who will do most of his damage against the run.

In Lancaster, a running back named Jerome LaRue is headed to Milford Academy.

“I need this,” LaRue said. “I need to go there and get good grades, enjoy the football experience and get ready for college.”

The 6-0, 195-pound speedster has a pair of football scholarship offers in his back pocket. Pittsburgh and Arizona have both offered LaRue a ride, but he needs to perform well academically to become eligible for any Division I college.

Not sure how long that offer will be available. He doesn’t appear to be a high prospect.
