It's not a surprise that K.D. Cannon launched himself onto the national scene at The Opening in Oregon last month. The 2014 WR torched defensive rosters filled with All-American recruits and had several highlight reel touchdown catches.

Today, K.D. Cannon made it official and committed to the University of Baylor.

"I went down there to go watch 'em practice. I had it in my mind that I wanted to commit anyway. I talked to the coaching staff and committed," Cannon told CLA this evening.

KD Cannon Senior Midseason Highlights

Marlon Humphrey is in a class of his own amongst 2014 football recruits. Humphrey recently took home a silver medal at the World Youth Track & Field Championships in the Ukraine and is now ready to solidify his list of official visits for the upcoming football season.

The Hoover High School senior is set on being able to run track and play football in college. As one of the top HS hurdlers in the nation he should have that chance.

"I was supposed to be at The Opening but I had to go to the Ukraine," Humphrey told CLA Sports.

CLA spoke with Raekwon McMillan shortly after his recent unofficial visit to the University of Georgia. McMillan is considered by many to be the nation's top inside linebacker recruit in the class of 2014. We chatted about recruiting and asked Raekwon what he’s been up to since The Opening at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon.

The Opening: 7on7 Pool Play

The 18 quarterbacks competing for the top prize at the Elite 11 finally got the opportunity to display their abilities in competitive play as 7ON pool play at The Opening kicked off Tuesday afternoon.

Heading into the day, Purdue commit David Blough ranked first in the Elite 11 standings and was placed on Team Superbad along with quarterbacks Stephen Collier and David Cornwell. Joining the signal callers on Superbad are SPARQ champion Speedy Noil, speedster Johnnie Dixon, Jalen Tabor, recent Cal commit Jaleel Wadood and many more D1 bound ballers.

Day Two of The Opening at Nike headquarters in Beaverton began with the Lineman Challenge featuring the best offensive and defensive lineman in the country. The game of football is usually won in the trenches and this year's crop of linemen are loaded with talent.

The most impressive performer on either side of the ball was St. John Bosco (CA) offensive lineman Damien Mama. The big man beasted in 1on1 drills against quality competition.

ESPN's recruiting guru Tom Luginbill put it best, "He was as advertised. In a drill rigged for the defense to win, he was still dominant."

The 2013 B2G Elite Camp at UCLA provided the ideal setting for any aspiring college level athlete. Student-athletes participating in this year's camp walked down the to field for the morning session after having breakfast in the dining hall close to the dorms they'll be housed in for the remainder of the weekend. Campers get to experience firsthand what it's like to be a student-athlete in a college environment, and that's invaluable.

Loyola 80, Calabasas 65

Parker Jackson-Cartwright strung together a dazzling triple double of 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Max Hazzard unleashed in like fashion with 29 points and 10 rebounds to lead Loyola past Calabasas. Thomas Welsh was just as terrific too with a putback jam and two hand bangout among the highlights of his 22 points on 10 of 12 FG (mostly in the paint). Welsh also snatched 14 rebounds, giving Loyola three players who posted at least a double-double.

The Southern California 7 on 7 circuit has always given way for talent to show off their skills in a competitive setting. This has truly been the case for Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei athlete Matt Rockett. The wide receiver / defensive back has been playing solidly for his high school 7v7 team as well as Team AIGA and we were able to catch up with him to talk a bit about his recruitment, what the 7v7 experience has done for him and more.

The list has been officially narrowed. Serra's Adoree' Jackson recently dropped his list of top 10 schools on Twitter and CLA caught up with the 2014 All-American in this exclusive interview. Adoree' talks about each school and how they made his list.

Throughout the season many people have speculated that Jackson is leaning one way or another, but you can get the real deal right here.

At 6'4 215, Josh Rosen has a formidable presence on and off the football field. Rosen doesn't carry himself like the typical high school sophomore and he's well aware of this fact. According to the 2015 QB recruit, maturity comes with the territory.

"You have to become mature beyond your years very quickly, especially at the quarterback position," Rosen told CLA Sports.
