I knew Spring Evaluation period could get hectic, but I didn’t imagine it would get this crazy. As to my count, 34 student-athletes from the 2013 class have been offered by Division I football programs and an amazing eight players from the 2014 class have already been verbally offered.
Corona del Sol, the 24th seed in the Division I tournament went down to Tucson over the weekend and upset the Tucson Badgers to advance past the first round of the state baseball playoffs.

With the playoffs getting underway in a week, teams on the bubble are looking toward inking key victories before the end of the season.
