Wednesday Wrap-Up
The recruiting headlines have been fast and furious in the three days since the July evaluation period has come to an end and Wednesday was no different with a variety of new offers coming in for a number of local prospects.
Here’s a look at some of the latest stories which have been reported in the last 24 hours:
• Kimball Union Academy 2014 forward Abdul-Malik Abu added a scholarship offer from Louisville, although it isn’t yet clear if this will impact his previous top ten list which did not include the reigning national champions;
• Incoming New Hampton 2015 forward Tyler Lydon added Florida, Clemson, and Virginia to his collection of high-major scholarship offers which also includes Boston College, Iowa Seton Hall, Providence, Virginia Tech, Minnesota, and Iowa State;
