Arizona DE recruits in demand:

Phoenix Desert Vista's Devon Kennard and Scottsdale Chaparral's Craig Roh hope to have their top 10 college football choices in a week. The defensive ends, rated among the nation's best prospects, figure to have Southern California in their list. Both are planning to attend the USC Rising Stars Camp at the end of the month. They were both wowed by USC coach Pete Carroll on unofficial visits this spring. Kennard, 6-4, 257, rated the No.1 player at his position in the country by Rivals.com, said that he has made unofficial visits to USC, UCLA, Arizona State and Texas.

Southern Cal's Jamie Lovemark, the medalist last year, was at 7-over 79.
