Points To Consider: ODU Stays or C-USA?
The Atlantic 10 Conference has officially welcomed the Rams of Virginia Commonwealth University. This ends about seven weeks of rumors that VCU would abandon the Virginia-centric Colonial Athletic Association. The rumors were accurate only to a degree. George Mason was first listed as possibly joining. However, the A-10 elected to only add two members, VCU and Butler. Now more than ever, attention turns to ODU.
Brown and Bowens Add Offers

BTW’s Johnson Adds A Big First Offer!
This is the time of year where juniors are working hard for college scholarship offers. They wait for college coaches to come in. Sometimes there’s interest. If they’re lucky, there’s an offer. Rarely does a player wait and then have his first offer be the big catch. Today, Booker T. Washington WR/DB Rodney Johnson’s recruitment went from zero to 60.
Marriner Recruitment Picking Up
Western Branch running back Josh Marriner is on the cusp of a breakout. The Bruin added another offer on Tuesday, and recruiting interest is picking up. He was under the radar after breaking his leg in the first game of his sophomore season and after his team failed to make the playoffs in 2011. Still the quiet contributor chipped in 1362 yards in ten games last year. He’s looking to up the ante in the 2012 campaign, and he’s working hard to make it a good year.
Penn State Gets A Visit From Grafton Big Man
Grafton big man Jake Mazgajewski is still a bit of a secret. He arrived to the region as an Air Force kid last August and spent last year adjusting to the wide open offense run by Coach Jared Van Acker. At 6-6 255, Maz is a bit of a tweener, believe it or not. He can cover multiple positions, yet colleges are still trying to figure out how they’d like to use him.
Kamara Adds Offer #10

Soph WR Kamara Lands Illinois Offer

Jamil has transferred from Princess Anne to Lake Taylor in the offseason, giving the Titans another weapon in their battle to win Division 5. Kamara’s eighth scholarship offer shows that his stock is rising… and he’s only a sophomore!
