It was another busy weekend on the recruiting trail, as some of the top prospects in America hit the road to check out top schools.

Given all of that activity, there were a lot of newsworthy headlines coming out of the past few days - a new Alabama offer for a California high school freshman, Oklahoma landing a junior college quarterback, Oregon hosting a five-star quarterback, UCLA hosting the nation's No.2 basketball prospect and a lot more. 

Here's a look at the top recruiting stories of the past few days:

- Los Alamitos freshman Devin Bragg runs 10.35 100 to win Division I Southern Section in first season of track
