Valentine has two trips left
Columbus (Ohio) Eastmoor running back/linebacker Justin Valentine is winding down the recruiting process and expects to commit on one of his next two trips.
"I have Boston College on Jan. 17 and Maryland on Jan. 24," said the 6-foot-2, 205-pounder. "I thought my BC visit was for this weekend, but they don't have a visit weekend so both got pushed back. I'm ready to end this thing, it's getting tiring."

Valentine has already been to Minnesota and said that the Gophers are still in the mix. However, they're not his leader.
"BC is still on top," he said. "I like what I hear about them and they have been straight up with me. They want me as an outside linebacker and that's fine with me."
Could he commit on his visit?
"If I like it I might," he said. "I spoke to Ty Hall (committed BC offensive lineman from Ohio) the other day and he and I were roommates at OSU's camp. He told me he loved it and wants me to join him there. If my visit goes perfect, I'll commit. Otherwise I really want to see Maryland as well."
Valentine is ranked as the No. 27 player in Ohio and is No. 44 on the Rivals running back list.
