Catchin' up on Weatherspoon, APR, etc.
After I got out of the mountains of southeastern Kentucky on Saturday and my cell phone latched on to a signal for the first time in six days, it soon started beeping with voice mails and vibrating with texts.
Here's what I missed and -- unless you've read it elsewhere already -- you missed, too.
Ohio State coach Thad Matta offered forward J.D. Weatherspoon a scholarship when the Northland junior visited campus last Monday with Northland coach Satch Sullinger and Sullinger's son, Jared, also a Northland junior who already has said he will sign with the Buckeyes in November.
After watching an afternoon workout, Weatherspoon and Matta met privately and the offer was made, Satch Sullinger said. Weatherspoon was advised to take the offer home and discuss it with his parents.
Some thought a commitment would be forthcoming within a day or two, but it wasn't.
"His dad convinced him that before he commits, he should check out other schools just to see what they have to offer," Satch Sullinger said.
So Weatherspoon will make official visits, probably during football season, to Georgia Tech, Maryland, Missouri and the University of Miami as well as Ohio State. His visit to Ohio State is expected to be the weekend of Sept.12 for the prime-time football game against Southern California, when Jared Sullinger will make his.
