May 24—The past week saw local college football and basketball prospects add more scholarship offers and make one verbal commitment.
Here’s a rundown of recent developments as spring winds down and recruiting continues to heat up:
1. Teaunn Hunter is going to be a Golden Flash.
The Wayne High School wide receiver chose Kent State from a group of scholarship offers also including Akron, Eastern Kentucky, Marshall, Massachusetts, Miami (Ohio) and Purdue according to 247Sports.
