On this edition of the Recruiting Roundup powered by Rockin’ Refuel Varsity, Jared Cohen and Scout.com’s Jason Jewell have the latest news around the recruitment of familiar faces as well as the first offers for a few. A couple weeks ago, Bowling Green was a school that has rarely recruited AZ offer a player, now two more schools that have not been known to do so offer two of 2016’s best players.
