From BSB...Matthews has 8 offers, 5 of which are in writing. He is looking at Syracuse, Pitt, UNC, PSU, BC, Miami (FL) and OSU. His offer from OSU is a verbal one at this point. He has no favorites at this point.

McKenzie has offers from Ohio State, Michigan State, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, North Carolina, Alabama, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Stanford, and UMass, but is still considering Michigan, Maryland, Notre Dame, and Boston College. He has not narrowed things down much but plans to start soon.

McKenzie says his top 4 is Ohio State, Michigan, Pittsburgh, and North Carolina. He says offers from Maryland, Iowa, Penn State, Notre Dame, Boston College, or Miami could shake that list up some. He likes tOSU and remembers Will Smith.
