Utah Prep Basketball: Who's Next?
When it comes to Utah prep basketball recruiting, it is probably time to look ahead a little bit because the best players in the crop of 2008 have already committed and will sign with their respective schools in November, as we noted in a previous post.
Who are the gems of 2009?
The three most-recruited Utah players who are currently juniors will be Lone Peak's Tyler Haws, Lone Peak's Nate Austin and Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox.
Utah and BYU have both already offered Haws, and Utah has offered Wilcox.
However, another player is making some great progress and could be lumped with those three.
Provo High's 6-foot-6 Brandon Davies could also be Division I-bound.
Davies is an unknown talent because he barely played for the Bulldogs as a sophomore last year. That's not unusual; veteran Provo coach Craig Drury rarely plays sophomores.
But the prospect has a 7-foot wingspan and a 24-inch vertical jump and has unlimited potential, according to a source close to the University of Utah's coaching staff.
"Guys never really stand out in Drury's system, but this kid will be hard to hide," the source said, comparing Davies favorably to Charles Abuou, the Logan High graduate who committed to BYU and is now at a prep school on the East coast.
Other top players -- though probably not Division-I caliber recruits -- in the class of 2009 are Bountiful's Sean Carey and Travis Parrish, Hillcrest's Kyle Maughn, West Jordan's Reyes Gallegos and Corbin Green of Olympus, to name a few.
"Davies could be really special," the Utah source said.
