Here is the latest buzz coming out of Day 2.
— Five-star Jacksonville (FL.) Mandarin WR Jaime Ffrench backed off his recent claim that Texas leads in his recruitment. Ffrench is considering the Longhorns along with LSU, Miami, Ohio State and Tennessee, and he’s going back to the drawing board to figure out which program is right for him. Ffrench visited Baton Rouge at the end of May and his next official will be to Miami on June 11 before finishing off with Tennessee (June 14) and Texas (June 21). Ohio State is expected to receive an official visit in the fall even if he makes a college decision this summer.
