Texas recruit to help U.?
Help could be on the way for the University of Utah's rushing attack -- next year. One of the more heavily recruited running backs in Texas, Shane Turner of Cypress Falls High in Houston, said earlier this week that he favors Utah. Turner, who rushed for more than 1,200 yards and 14 touchdowns his junior season, told Texas Prep Insider that he won't commit until his senior season has concluded, but that if he had to choose right now, it would be the Utes.
"I have offers from Utah, Arizona and New Mexico State," he said. "If I had to name a favorite, it would be Utah. I like their team, especially their offense, because it is similar to ours."
Turner said he is also receiving interest from Missouri, Auburn, Boston College, Fresno State and Northwestern. In Cypress Falls' first game, Turner rushed for 179 yards and two touchdowns and caught four passes for 67 yards and a touchdown against one of the top defenses in Texas, Spring Westfield. The 5-foot-10, 165-pound prospect said he plans to make some official visits when the season ends. He said one of the issues that will affect his decision is where teams plan on using him.
"A lot of schools want me to play defensive back, but I'd like to play running back," he said.
Another Metro Player Commits
Girls from the club basketball team known as Salt Lake Metro continue to make their college decisions known. Most recently, Taylor Altenburg, a 6-foot wing player from Elko High in Nevada, orally committed to sign with New Mexico State. Altenburg played the past two years on a Salt Lake Metro team that now has six Division I recruits on its roster. Box Elder's Mandy Munns chose Utah, Skyline's Dani Peterson and Timpview's Alexis Kaufusi chose BYU, Beaver's Morgan Wood and Canyon View's Cassie Platt chose Southern Utah. Altenburg is ranked as one of the top wings in the Intermountain West by the Intermountain Hoops Scouting Service, which notes that "Altenburg is an extremely good shooter, She can knock down the three or put it on the floor." She averaged 17.2 points and 8.7 rebounds last year for Elko High and is a three-year starter.
