May is the month college football coaches are permitted to hit the recruiting road for future prospects. They visit high schools, attend combines and watch films of potential recruits.

In the WPIAL, there are juniors who already have a number of scholarship offers. Here is a look at some top players and their recruiting status.

Toney Clemons, Valley -- A 6-foot-2¹/₂, 190-pound receiver, Clemons recently picked up scholarship offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Temple, Colorado and West Virginia. He already had offers from Pitt, Akron, Connecticut and Mississippi.

Andrew Devlin, Mt. Lebanon -- Pitt, Maryland, Stanford, Boston College, Northwestern, Wisconsin and Iowa are among more than 15 schools that have offered scholarships to this 6-5, 255-pound tight end-lineman.

John Ditto, Gateway -- Ditto (6-4, 221) is one of the most heavily recruited players in Western Pennsylvania. He has more than 20 scholarship offers and schools are recruiting him as either a tight end, receiver or H-back. Pitt, Penn State, UCLA, Tennessee, Georgia, Maryland and Michigan State are among the schools that have offered.

"I think he's leaning to stay in state, but he's still open," said Gateway coach Terry Smith.

Ditto will probably be Gateway's quarterback next season.

Steve Paskorz, Hampton -- Some colleges like Parkorz (6-2, 220) as a linebacker, some as a running back and some as an H-back. He has offers from Pitt, West Virginia, Michigan, Mississippi, Virginia, Iowa and Connecticut.

"I really like Notre Dame, too, but I don't know if they're going to offer," Paskorz said.

Paskorz is still recovering from ankle surgery, but said he should be 100 percent by the end of June.

Nick Sukay, Greensburg Central Catholic -- A 6-2, 200-pound receiver and defensive back, Sukay has about 20 offers, including ones from Pitt, West Virginia, Georgia, Iowa, Purdue and Michigan State. Schools are recruiting him as a receiver.

"I didn't think I'd be recruited anywhere near as much as I am now," said Sukay.

Stefen Wisniewski, Central Catholic -- A two-way lineman, Wisniewski (6-3, 270) has a number of offers and Penn State, Michigan, Boston College, Stanford, North Carolina and Georgia Tech top his list. He has visited Penn State, Michigan and Notre Dame, but Notre Dame hasn't offered. Most schools are recruiting Wisniewski as an offensive lineman.

Perfect spring

Peters Township (19-0) was the only baseball team in the WPIAL to finish the regular season with a perfect record. While the Indians' offense has been good (.383 team batting average), their pitching and defense have been superb.

Peters Township made only 20 errors in 19 games and the team ERA is 2.16. Jason Conley and Jordan Jankowski are both 6-0 with Jankowski's ERA at 0.65.

"I think the most impressive thing is the errors," Peters Township coach Joe Maize said. "There have been five or six games where we didn't commit one error."

Sister act III

When the Quaker Valley girls' 400 relay team runs a good time, you could say it's quality family time for the Kimbroughs.

Sisters Dakkia, Katia and Aleeda Kimbrough run on the relay team along with Christa Rogers. Quaker Valley has run the event in 49.12 seconds, the best in WPIAL Class AA and second best in the entire WPIAL.
