DUNCANVILLE, Texas -- Speed might best define ESPN Watch List wide receiver K.D. Cannon (Mount Pleasant, Texas/Mount Pleasant). His hands might be a close second. His outstanding 4.37-second 40-yard dash time and his 104 catches for 1,597 yards and 25 touchdowns support that.
What Cannon has been recently working on is how to overcome size mismatches against larger defenders in the secondary. At 6-foot-0 and 170 pounds, he knows that at the next level he will go up against cornerbacks and safeties who are 15 or 20 pounds heavier -- and just as quick.

PLANO, Texas -- Cameron Westbrook (Edmond, Okla./Santa Fe) is a competitor, and he’ll be the first to say that publicly. Being a competitor makes Westbrook, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound running back, want to use last season as motivation. It also helped to make the time of Sunday’s 3 ½-hour drive from Edmond to Plano, Texas, speed by a little quicker.

Historic is the best way to describe it.
Perhaps a top 25-class (at least for now) doesn't seem like much. But wait -- there could be more to come.
Imagine for a moment a middle-of-the-pack SEC West team nabbing the top receiver in the nation, as Ole Miss did with Laquon Treadwell of Crete (Ill.) Monee on Thursday. Imagine that same program potentially securing a commitment from the top prospect in the nation.

Make that 14.
It’s no secret Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has an affinity for athletes from the state of Georgia. The two-time national champion proved it once again by offering 2014 outside linebacker Kevin Mouhon (Norcross, Ga./Norcross).
The 6-foot-1, 210-pound Mouhon becomes the 14th junior from the Peach State to be offered by the Buckeyes and the third from Norcross. Incidentally, the other two are running back Myles Autry and defensive end Lorenzo Carter.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Laquon Treadwell (Crete, Ill./Crete-Monee) seems to like the southeastern culture, and that could be a good thing for Ole Miss.
The ESPN 150 wide receiver says the Rebels are in his top three with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. He will take his official to Stillwater on Jan. 11.
“My recruitment got pretty wild there for a couple of weeks, but once I starting talking with the schools I was most interested in and put together a top three everything settled down,” Treadwell said. “I don’t expect any schools to challenge those three, but we’ll see.”

Four-star wide receiver Devin Lauderdale (Houston, Texas/Bellaire) was considering decommitting from Texas Tech before Tommy Tuberville took the head coaching position at Cincinnati. That news proved to be the proverbial last straw, as Lauderdale parted ways with the Red Raiders on Tuesday.
Now Lauderdale, a 5-foot-11, 173-pound speedster, is looking at visiting four schools in the next few weeks. Lauderdale said he will visit Oklahoma State on Dec. 18 and Notre Dame on Jan. 25. Cal and West Virginia also are in the mix. All four schools, Lauderdale said, have offered.
“I’m opening my options up again,” Lauderdale said. “I’m just looking to see the environments. I want to also see how the educational systems are. Mostly, I want to feel the love from the schools.”

The 6-foot-5, 250-pound defensive end will make his final visit next weekend to Oklahoma State, and he believes he’ll know where he wants to go shortly after leaving Stillwater.
“I feel after I see and visit Oklahoma State on Sunday when I’m flying back home I’ll have a good idea,” Nash said. “I might need a night to think it over and talk it over with my family, but I’d make my decision by [Dec. 17] the latest.”
