This week has produced a recruiting bonanza for college football and basketball programs.
* The University of Washington, for example, has received a commitment from an outstanding junior quarterback,
Cyler Miles, according to the Denver Post.
The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder passed for 2,114 yards and 20 touchdowns last fall while leading
Mullen (Denver, Colo.) to its third consecutive Class 5A state title. He completed 70.8 percent of his passes and threw just two interceptions.
Miles, who runs 40 yards in a swift 4.43 seconds, is called one of the most highly-touted Colorado quarterbacks in the last decade. He also considered Tennessee and Illinois.
* The Newark Star-Ledger reports that
Seton Hall Prep (West Orange, N.J.) quarterback Sean Maguire has committed to Florida State University. Despite playing in a run-oriented offense, the 6-3, 200-pounder passed for 1,161 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior. His team was 19-3 over the past two seasons.
* Preston Dewey, a quarterback from
St. Andrew's (Austin, Texas), has committed to the University of Miami, according to the Austin Statesman. Dewey transferred to St. Andrews last fall to play under former Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer and credits that move for his scholarship offer.
BASKETBALL RECRUITSJody Demling of the Louisville Courier-Journal reported several basketball commitments this week – all to the University of Louisville.

Rowan County (Morehead, Ky.).
