Recruit Makes His Pick On X-Mas

Everyone celebrates their holidays differently. Suspended Eleanor Roosevelt coach Rick Houchens wished me a merry ho-ho-ho yesterday and called to say that defensive back Okechukwu Okoroha had committed yesterday morning to play for Boston College.

Houchens said that Okoroha also had taken visits to Virginia and Illinois but opted for the Eagles where he plans to room with Friendly running Josh Haden.
