Extended unofficial visits are uncommon but not unprecedented. Rivals national recruiting director Mike Farrell says they happen “probably a couple of times each spring or summer every year to different schools.”

Michigan is about to have its second such reported visit when Noah Cain, ranked as the No. 1 running back in the Class of 2019 by 247Sports, spends four days in Ann Arbor later this month.

Cain confirmed that he will be on campus June 22 to 25. Michigan’s elite camp is scheduled for June 23. The news was first reported by 247Sports. 

“I just want to see if I can see myself being there on a daily basis,” Cain told USA TODAY Sports. “I want to spend time meeting Coach (Jim) Harbaugh and his staff.”

While an official visit cannot extend beyond 48 hours and is paid for by the school, students or their parents need to pay expenses for an unofficial visit and are not faced with time constraints.

Cain, from IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.), has 21 reported offers, with the most recent coming from Florida State last week.

Michigan has had other extended unofficial visits dating back several years, including linebacker Jonathan Jones, who spent five days on the Michigan campus in June 2015. He would eventually sign with Notre Dame on National Signing Day in February 2016.

Cain’s visit follows a five-day unofficial by St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) linebacker Anthony Solomon in April. Solomon came in early for the spring game.

“It was my idea,” Solomon told USA TODAY High School Sports in April. “I wanted to see how they practice and perform on game day, and I wanted to explore Ann Arbor and get a feel for the environment.”

Darius Garland was already considered among the top basketball players in the Class of 2018, ranked No. 6 overall and as the No. 1 point guard according to the 247Sports Composite.

His weekend performance in Treviso, Italy, during the adidas Eurocamp in front of NBA scouts, only furthered that standing.

The 6-1 Garland was the event’s leading scorer at 15.7 points over the three games for Team Path, and he only played about 20 minutes per game. He also shot 76 percent from the floor (19-for-25). PATH was one of two Under-18 teams U.S.-based teams taking part.

“I thought I played really well,” Garland, from Brentwood Academy in Tennessee, told USA TODAY High School Sports. “My teammates got me open shots and I knocked them down. We got out in transition and pushed the ball ahead and made plays for other teammates.”

Garland, who has offers from Duke, Indiana and Louisville among others, had 18 points to lead all scorers on the first day and was 7-for-7 shooting in the opener.

Team Path’s roster had several top 10 players from the Class of 2018, including Zion Williamson, Cam Reddish and Romeo Langford,

The trip to Europe followed Garland’s outstanding play during the Nike EYBL season. He averaged 16.8 points, 4.8 assists and 3.1 rebounds per game for Bradley Beal Elite (Mo.).

“Playing with a lot of big-time players for the first time is hard for some people because they do so much for their AAU team where they’re ‘the man’ for the team,” Garland said. “The Path group put all that aside and played together as one, and we all did what we needed to do to win games.

“It was a great experience going to Europe. It was our first time going out of the country for some of us. We made the best out of every moment starting from the long plane ride to the hot gym full of NBA scouts.”

Garland also said the team got the chance to experience some of the sights and culture in Italy.

“We saw a lot of places in such little time,” he said. “It was fun to go see the Coliseum, the Basilica of St. Mary in Venice, The Spanish Steps, and also the Vatican … It was a great experience all around from the culture perspective and on the court.”

Isaac Taylor-Stuart returned to San Diego with the fastest laser-timed 40-yard dash at the Rivals Five-Star Challenge — and has the championship belt to prove it.

Taylor-Stuart, ranked as the No. 4 cornerback in the Class of 2018 by Rivals, ran 4.448 at the event. An Instagram video of his run has been viewed more than 46,000 times.

“I came in as the underdog,” he said. “They had their favorites as to who they thought was going to win. But when it was my time to run, I was like, ‘OK, this is my time to shock them and the world and completely blow all these guys’ 40 times. As I hit the line, everybody was shocked and they all gasped. They were like, ‘No way.’ A lot of the players came up to me and congratulated me and were like, ‘Dang, I didn’t know you were that fast, bruh.’

“On social media, one of my friends, Bradley Dunn, sent me a video of me running on the adidas football page. I was surprised and shocked. Now the whole world can see my speed. I thought it was pretty big to be featured on adidas. I’ve gotten a lot of media attention about my fast 40. Overall, I’m pretty happy that adidas provided the cleats and help with the camp.”

A U.S. Army All-American, Taylor-Stuart already had the attention of college recruiters. Ranked as the No. 27 player in the class overall by Rivals, he has 49 offers.

“Coaches love to see the 40 yard time along with the ability to play the game of football, but I think speed helps in recruiting,” he said. “The coaches were hitting me up about the times and they were very surprised and happy that I ran that time.”

And that time could get better. Taylor-Stuart said that was not his best 40 time, but it was the first time that he had been timed under the FAT system.

“I came into the camp without any speed work or anything like that,” he said. “If I start running and improving on my speed you could see an easy low 4.3 or even a high 4.2.”

Ja’Quon Griffin is a defensive tackle prospect in the Class of 2018 who has committed to LSU.

Griffin, from Rome (Ga.), is listed as 6 foot and 265 pounds.

This week, he posted a video of him bench-pressing 225 pounds 24 times and noted that he was “just warming up.”

Of note, 225 pounds is the standard for the NFL Scouting Combine. Carl Lawson from Auburn did 35 reps of 225 at this year’s combine, No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett, of Texas A&M, and Washington’s Elijah Qualls each did 33. About half the group of D-linemen did fewer than Griffin’s 24.

But those are men after time in a college weight program. Griffin is going to a be a high school senior. Imagine how much stronger he will get some time in Baton Rouge.

Jack Doss from Mae Jemison High received the American Family Insurance ALL-USA Boys Basketball Coach of the Year on Tuesday at the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame in Huntsville, Ala.

The entire coaching staff, athletic department and local leaders attended the event, which came less than a week after Doss announced he was retiring from coaching.

Doss, 70, won his 10th state title this past season, a state record. He’s won state titles at four schools (Hayes in Birmingham, Butler in Huntsville, J.O. Johnson in Huntsville and now, Mae Jemison).

Jemison went 33-4 overall in 2016-17 and 27-0 against in-state competition. His all-time record is 812-329; his victories rank fourth in the AHSAA.

He was inducted into the AHSAA Sports Hall of Fame in 2015 and the Huntsville-Madison County Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007.

Jack Doss addresses the crowd at a presentation where he received his ALL-USA Boys Basketball Coach of the Year.

Jeron Artest, who plays during the school year for Hillcrest Prep (Phoenix), is the son of former NBA player Metta World Peace (the former Ron Artest).

Here as captured by ItsOvertime.com, Jeron loses a defender with a quick step and then throws up an alleyoop to Savion Thousand.

Each year, the Major League Baseball Draft has players with some unique names. This year’s winner might be Cash Case, a shortstop from First Academy in Orlando (Fla.).

Case was selected in the fourth round, No. 107 overall, by the Cincinnati Reds.

So, about that name?

“When I was 3, my dad tried to introduce me to baseball in a fun way that would keep the attention of a kid my age,” Case told USA TODAY Sports. “He made a small baseball field in our yard that my best friend (Griffin Hines) and I would play one-on-one wiffle ball games, with my dad pitching.

“To make it fun he would announce us when we came up to bat, using a bullhorn and announcing us as an all-time great baseball player with a cool nickname, such as Joe ‘Ducky’ Medwick, Stan ‘The Man’ Musial, Cool Papa Bell and Pete ‘Charley Hustle’ Rose.

“My friend I wanted nicknames also, so we gave one to each other, so he called me ‘Cool Cash’ Case, because I always had all my money and change organized very neatly, and also because of ‘Cool Papa’ Bell. His was ‘Hey Hey’ Hines taken from the ‘Say Hey Kid.’ Got to love the alliteration.”

And while everyone calls him Cash, his birth name is Mitchell.

Case, a shortstop, is a Notre Dame signee. He hit .451 as a senior and has become exclusively a left-handed hitter after switch-hitting earlier in his prep career.

“He just has a great demeanor for the game of baseball,” coach Scott Grove told The Orlando Sentinel. “He doesn’t get too high and doesn’t get too low, and he’s so rounded as a person that, even though he loves baseball, it doesn’t define him as a person.”

As noted by MLB.com, being rounded as a person includes this:

Off the field, Case has played the guitar, piano and saxophone since he was six years old. For four years, he studied and became fluent in speaking Mandarin Chinese. Even after he stopped taking courses during his senior year, he kept up with the language on Rosetta Stone.

And of course, his name generated this GIF on Twitter when he was selected:

For the last two springs, Ashlee Swindle as leading Curry High (Jasper, Ala.) to the Alabama 4A state championship in softball.

The 2015 title was the school’s first in any sport in its 94-year history. Last spring, she pitched shutouts in the state semifinals and finals.

Her effort was rewarded with the American Family Insurance ALL-USA High School Softball Player of the Year.

This year, the 5-6 righthander was in the circle for Auburn. She made 15 appearances, with three starts, and had 12 strikeouts in 34 innings.

Swindle finished with a 2-1 record and 3.29 ERA. Opponents his .272 against her.

She also was called upon to make her first career start as the Tigers, ranked seventh at the time, blanked SEC rival South Carolina, 2-0, on the road.

In 5 1/3 innings, she did not allow a runner to reach second base and struck out two.

“I was just really nervous, but excited at the same time,” she said. “I had all the [coaching] staff telling me just to trust myself and let my defense work.”

She was able to ease a bit into the college experience for an Auburn team that finished 49-12 and reached the NCAA Super Regionals.

Her high school numbers at Curry were eye-popping.

As a senior, Swindle finished 45-2 with a 0.59 ERA and 385 strikeouts in 262.2 innings. She held opponents to a .132 batting average and walked just 34 to post a strikeout-to-walk ratio of better than 11 to 1.

She also hit .557 and slugged .935 thanks to 13 homers and 14 doubles while driving in 86 runs. She reached base in 47 of her team’s 49 games.

Remember all the attention that came when Big Ballers AAU, coached by LaVar Ball, lost 109-57 to the Compton Magic last month. The game featured a halftime tirade by LaVar Ball that was caught on video. And it led to a “lowlight tape” of errant passes and missed shots by LaMelo Ball.

Well, the teams met again in a heated rematch Wednesday night that got chippy in the first half with a handful of technical fouls.

The Magic again won the game — 63-59 — but it took double overtime. Compton was without Jules Bernard and Harrison Butler, two starters from the previous meeting.

RELATED: Don’t rip LaMelo because you don’t like LaVar

The teams went to OT tied at 54-54 — the overtime periods were only two minutes for the event.

After the Magic took a lead on a three, William Pluma answered to tie it with 12.3 seconds left.

Contrary to what you think is his reputation, LaMelo Ball took a charge on his Chino Hills High teammate Onyeka Okongwu with three seconds left. Okongwu is 6-9; LaMelo is 6-3.

That gave one more possession for Big Ballers to win it in the first overtime, but a deep three attempt missed and a putback rolled off the rim.

Compton scored twice in the second overtime to win the game.

As is often the case, LaMelo was accompanied by his brothers. Both Lonzo and LiAngelo were in the gym and both were sporting Lonzo’s new ZO2’s, believed to be the public debut for the high-end shoes. LaVar was wearing his now trademark “Stay in Yo Lane” T-shirt on the bench and a hat with the “B” for Big Ballers.

Houston Griffith should feel like he’s in familiar surroundings during this weekend’s seventh annual NFA 7v7 National Championship event.

First, the tournament is being held at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., where Griffith is a rising senior ranked among the top 10 cornerback prospects in the Class of 2018 by the 247Sports Composite rankings. Second, it seems like the Midwest BOOM program has little trouble settling in to any 7v7 tournament it plays.

BOOM took home the tournament championship last year and did so by winning every game by at least 10 points. BOOM beat Cam Newtown Black 20-10 in the championship game.

“The Boom program has been successful because of the guys who buy into the program,” Griffith said. “We always compete every time we step on to the field.

“For me, this is going to feel like a home game because it’s at the school I attend.”

Griffith, a Chicago native, announced his top 7 on Wednesday night via Twitter: Florida State, Penn State, Texas, Alabama, Nebraska, Ohio State and Notre Dame. The Buckeyes’ inclusion comes after Griffith spent time at Ohio State’s camp the day before.

Notably absent is Illinois. Griffith’s dad, Howard, is an Illini great and current Big Ten Network analyst who had more than 3,000 yards from scrimmage during his college career.

For BOOM, Griffith is part of a stellar defensive backfield that also features Minnesota commit Tyrik Henderson, Northwestern commit Greg Newsome and Derric Lee. They were all members of last year’s championship team along with quarterback Drake Davis and Cincinnati wide receiver commit Jayshon Jackson.

Henderson, Glenbard North (Coral Stream, Ill.), says he has developed a strong bond with Griffith that has been beneficial on the field and away from it.

“Playing alongside Houston is a fun time for me because we have a growing relationship that has become close as ever,” Henderson said. “Our families have a tight relationship as well. I learn a lot from him and his game. He has taught me a lot about this recruitment process as well as many other things, and this tournament won’t be any different.”

Given the general way of 7v7, expect the BOOM secondary to be tested with a number of high-end quarterbacks and receivers in the event.

“Our secondary is phenomenal,” Henderson said. “We have very good chemistry and the brotherhood bond that we have lasts forever I believe us being close is what makes us so good defensively.”

The BOOM organization has had success this year in a number of national circuit qualifying events with victories in the NFA 7v7 Midwest Regional, the STL 7v7 Showdown, the Milwaukee 7v7 Skyline Battle.

And while the event is a showcase for the players to get more exposure, winning still matters.

“I wouldn’t say being the defending champion helps us, but it puts more of a target on our backs,” Griffith said.

Said Henderson: “We have something everyone wants. Everyone wants that No. 1 spot and we have been working our hardest to make sure nobody takes what we deserve and what we put in all the hard work for.”

Former New York Jets and Miami Dolphins quarterback Chad Pennington’s first love was basketball when he started playing as a third grader.

At the Webb School in Knoxville, he played high school football, basketball and baseball, although football was seen as his path to college.

Pennington is a member of USA Football’s advisory committee and runs the Central Kentucky Youth Football League in Lexington. He also has been a middle school coach. 

Given his background, Pennington has strong beliefs on the ongoing debate about multi-sport athletes:

“I am a complete believer in multiple sports for our youth,” Pennington told USA TODAY High School Sports. “Specialization is a complete disservice to our youth for multiple reasons, including overuse injuries and elbow and ACL injuries happening at much younger ages. I also think multiple sports allows young athletes to compete in different arenas and situations and enhances your best sport.

“The notion that our kids must specialize and find that sport at a young age is completely false. I disagree with it and think it’s wrong. Youth sports entrepreneurs have created 12-month sports to fill their bank accounts instead of focusing on the kids and what’s best for them.”

RELATED: Ariz. football year-round practices go full throttle; sport-specialization concerns arise

The analogy Pennington draws is to college freshman who don’t know their major.

“If you’ve been to college and not having a clue as to what you’re going to do for the rest of your life, how in the world can we ask 10 year old to pick a sport?” he said. “They have no clue and don’t know what’s going to change. It’s not healthy for them mentally or physically.”

Pennington’s youth league will be among the 11 pilot sites for USA Football’s Rookie Tackle Program. Part of the program calls for no position specialization in order for young players — mainly under 10 — to be able to experience different parts of the game while they are learning.

Pennington is a supporter of that part of the program with some limitations in order for kids to be build confidence.

“I definitely want our kids to experience both sides of the football in some form or fashion,” he said. “I do want kids to try position based on skill set. Certain positions will accent a player’s skill set and I don’t want them to experience failure. I don’t think playing every position is the key factor.

“That’s why I also encourage flag football so they can continue to develop ball skills even if they are not playing a skill position in the tackle game. Flag and tackle can go hand and hand. If you take a kid without great ball skills and put him in (that type of position), he would have a experience. We don’t want that. Our coaches have been very cognizant of what positions make sense for each player based on skill level.”

Kevin Doyle, one of the top uncommitted quarterbacks in the Class of 2018, is spending Friday at Penn State, but he won’t be there for long.

The rising senior pro-style passer from St. John’s (Washington, D.C.) will be flying to Bradenton, Fla. – in hopes of getting to the hotel by 2:30 a.m. – before he steps on the field at 9 a.m. Saturday for the first game of pool play in the NFA 7v7 National Championships in IMG Academy.

Doyle, who transferred from Malvern Prep (Pa.) to St. John’s, is the quarterback for Next Level Greats, a team largely made up of players from New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“I expect my team and I will have nothing but great success this weekend,” Doyle said. “We won our last two tournaments our whole team was there and we did not even have one of our best players, Iverson Clement. Trayvon King, Stanley King, Shamere Collins, Nick Kargman, Jairo Ramos are just a few of the guys I can highlight that have been killing it as of late.

“I believe we have put the pieces together and can make a deep run come Sunday.”

Doyle, who is 6-4 and 210 pounds and has one of the strongest arms in the nation, has been active this spring with unofficial visits to Ohio State, LSU, Purdue, Michigan State, Cincinnati, Michigan and Baylor. He has plans to return to Ole Miss later this summer. He also has attended Junior Days at Temple and Pitt.

And, of course, playing 7v7.

“I believe playing in the 7v7’s has helped me exponentially,” he said. “It has allowed me to read defenses and further develop myself mentally while in the offseason.”

Doyle’s transfer to St. John’s provided him with opportunities for more exposure and potentially more competition in the WCAC. The Cadets have one of the nation’s most difficult schedules with non-league games at De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) and IMG Academy and home games against St. Joseph’s Regional (Montvale, N.J.) and St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.), not to mention a tough WCAC schedule that includes highly ranked DeMatha.

St. John’s is coming off an 8-4 season with Kasim Hill at the controls; Hill is now at Maryland.

“I believe my transfer from a small, non-football school such as Malvern Prep to a large, powerhouse in St John’s has helped me because I have reached new heights I did not think I could reach, especially before the season,” Doyle said. “I am bigger, faster, stronger, and definitely more enlightened to the game then I ever would have been before.

“I have nothing but high aspirations for St John’s as we go into the year. My teammates and I have been working really hard together this offseason. It will show on the field as well. I am proud of these guys.”

The roster of 166 players has been set for The Opening Finals, which begin at the end of the month at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore.

So which state has the most players? According to the home addresses of the athletes, California and Florida are tied with 26 and Georgia is next with 24. Texas has 14.

A year ago, those same four states were the top four, but in a different order: Texas was the leader with 23, followed by Florida with 19 and California and Georgia at 18

Here is a look at this year’s breakdown, according to Brian Stumpf, who runs football events for Student Sports.

A quartet of runners from Parkview High in Georgia — competing for the Parkview Express — set the national record in the 1,000-meter sprint medlay Swedish relay at the New Balance Nationals in North Carolina.

Their winning time was of 1 minute, 52.39 seconds, lowering the previous mark of 1:52.64, set in 2015.

Malik Williams ran 10.7 seconds for the first leg; Demarius Smith covered 20.7 for the second leg; Amir Harris ran 32.7 for the third leg and then Justin Long was the anchor with a leg of 46.6.  Long’s final burst around the turn helped him pull away for the victory.

Matt Corral, the No. 2 pro-style quarterback in the Class of 2018, has decommitted from USC, he confirmed to USA TODAY High School Sports.

The decision was first reported by 247Sports.

Corral, from Long Beach Poly (Calif.) had been a USC commit since February 2016.

“I did decommit from USC,” Corral said in a statement. “I have a lot of love for the Heltons and the USC football program. I also thank them for all the knowledge they have shared with me.”

Corral has seven reported offers, but many schools that would have offered over the last 15 months have not given his commitment. Alabama was his most recent reported offer in early March. He took an unofficial visit to Georgia in April.

Corral left observers impressed at the Steve Clarkson Quarterback Retreat in late May and then was chosen among the Elite 11 to advance to the Nike Opening Finals two weeks ago.

Texas A&M quarterback Nick Starkel, who worked specifically with Corral during the Clarkson, was impressed.

“Matt Corral was a man amongst boys,” Starkel said. “The guy’s got a cannon for a right arm, unmatched footwork, and the mentally of an assassin. He will be successful at the next level because he always wants to learn and get better. I can’t wait to watch his career as he grows and develops.”

In the aftermath of Corral’s decommitment, USC offered Jack Tuttle from Mission Hills (San Marcos, Calif.).

Tuttle, ranked as the No. 7 pro-style QB, is a Utah commit and said the USC offer won’t change that.

“I was honored to receive an offer from USC, similar to the other schools who have offered me,” Tuttler said. “However, I am very much committed to Utah and don’t plan on visiting anywhere else. I will be in Salt Lake next week. Go Utes!”

Frustrated by social media reports that said he was considering Oklahoma and USC despite being an Ohio State commit, five-star defensive back Jaiden Woodbey tweeted this:

His stated Twitter hiatus didn’t last long as he posted on social media on Saturday that he will be playing in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio. Woodbey, from St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) also had an invitation to the Under Armour All-America Game.

Woodbey is ranked as the No. 3 safety, No. 4 prospect in California and No. 31 player overall, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Zamir White, the No. 1 running back recruit in the Class of 2018 and among the top 10 overall, is spending the weekend with a return visit to in-site North Carolina.

White was among the elite recruits from 2018, 2019 and 2020 who were invited to the annual “Freak Show” event, usually reserved for the program’s top targets. Chicago Bears first-round draft pick Mitchell Trubisky returned to campus for the event.

White, from Scotland County, also visited Chapel Hill last week.

White is said to be down to Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, North Carolina, and Ohio State with an announcement set for July 27.

And while White is a very good football player, the chance to thrown down some dunks at the Dean Dome was too good to pass up, as White posted on his Twitter feed.

A Miami teen who had planned to play football at a California junior college was shot and died days after high school graduation, police say according to reports.

Craig Brown, 19, graduated last week from North Miami Beach High. He was scheduled to leave for Merced College on July 1.

His relatives told Local10.com in South Florida that they believe he was shot during a Craigslist transaction. Brown had advertised video games and a game console and was meeting the person who was planning to buy the items.

“Happy, always smiling, a friend to everyone. Everyone who knew him —  I can say at least 200 to 300 people have come here to hug me and told me what a great kid he was. and how much love he just had for everyone,” his father, Craig Brown, told the station. “(He) wouldn’t hurt a fly, wouldn’t hurt anyone. (He) loved animals. He had this dog, you’d think this dog was one of his kids, man.”

Brown’s father speculated that the shooter and his son, the oldest of four children, might have gotten into a scuffle following a robbery attempt.

North Miami Beach coach Jeff Bertani said Brown played on the team for four years.

“He was phenomenal on the field for us,” Bertani said. “He loved every minute he was on that field. His personality was large on the field, his personality was large off the field.”

Miami-Dade police are investigating the incident.
