Football: Offers mount for Cottonwood's Martinez
More happenings in the world of recruiting while I was away......

Chris Fetters of Scout.com is reporting that Cottonwood High lineman John Martinez, a 6-foot-3, 265-pound offensive guard, now has 28 written offers.

The latest two schools to offer the five-star recruit are Auburn and Washington. Arkansas, UCLA and Hawaii have also recenlty offered.

Fetters points out that 22 of the last 25 national champions have offered Martinez, who is ranked as the No. 2 guard prospect in the country.

For what it is worth, a reader of this blog reports that he was representing his company at a job fair at Cottonwood two weeks ago and that Martinez was there wearing a USC jacket.

I wrote about Taysom Hill, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound quarterback from Highland High in Pocatello, Idaho, a month ago after watching Hill play well at the 7 on 7 passing camp in Las Vegas. At the time, Hill had just one scholarship offer, from Idaho State.

Now, Hill has two offers. Arizona became the latest school to extend an offer, jumping in the ring last week.

Hill said BYU coaches have shown some mild interest (he is LDS), but have yet to offer. He also expects some offers from a few other Pac-10 schools in the near future.

Hiill's brother, Jordan Hill, originally signed with BYU, but transferred to Arizona State after an LDS Church mission.

I applaud Jordan Hill for his decision.
