DeMatha lineman makes pick
Nope, not tackle Arie Kouandjio, who told me earlier this week he had yet to narrow down his college choices, though I suspect Cal and Alabama are near the top of his list. Not guard Shane Johnson or Kouandjio's younger brother Cyrus, a junior who starts at the other tackle...

Hairston signs with Duke, Ross will wait
Stopped by Montrose Christian on Monday afternoon and saw All-Met forward Josh Hairston sign his National Letter-of-Intent and scholarship papers with Duke. No surprise there.

Was All-Met too old to play?
The whispers circled the Beltway and then some last winter as opposing coaches wondered just how old was Mouphtaou Yarou, then a senior at Montrose Christian. Apparently, they aren't the only ones.

Brown busts out, more offers to come?
Charles Brown had a career day Saturday, rushing for 343 yards and four touchdowns in St. John's 35-34 loss to Gonzaga. Making the performance more impressive was that even though Gonzaga knew Brown would be getting the ball most of the time, the Eagles still couldn't stop the 5-foot-11, 195-pound...

Terps, Cavs chasing Gonzaga quarterback
It was a busy weekend for Gonzaga quarterback Kevin Hogan, even though the junior sat out the Eagles' 37-7 loss to No. 7 Good Counsel on Friday because of a sprained throwing hand.
