Perfect timing
Not exactly a Chamber of Commerce weekend in store for Salt Lake City today and tomorrow, although there's a Jazz-Lakers game tonight, a Utah men's basketball game at noon on Saturday in the Huntsman Center and that junior college football championship game at noon Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium.
The wind is howling, temperatures are dipping and a snowstorm is surely coming.
Naturally, the University of Utah has a major football recruit on campus -- from northern California.
Cornerback Rashad Evans, from Logan High in Union City, Calif., arrived at the airport around 1 p.m. today and will get the royal treatment, a source close to the coaching staff confirmed.
Evans is a 5-foot-10, 170-pounder who is rated as a three-star prospect by Scout.com. He played quarterback for Logan this past season and guided the team to a perfect regular season, but is being recruited by most schools to play defensive back.
Evans has offers from Cal, Georgia Tech, Oregon and Utah, so he would be a huge get for the Utes. He is fully qualified academically and has posted some gaudy statistics on both sides of the ball, rushing for 1,393 yards and throwing three touchdown passes. Defensively, he had 25 tackles and an interception.
Now if only the weather would cooperate.
----------------------------------
Although he has committed to BYU, Bingham High tight end Austin Holt made a recruiting visit to Stanford last weekend to watch the Cardinal play Notre Dame. Holt's host was a Utahn, former Highland High star Bo McNally, Stanford's starting free safety.
Holt told superprep.com that he loved the visit, but remains solidly committed to BYU.
Holt is the No. 4 tight end in the country in the latest Scout.com rankings, and will make his official visit to BYU on Jan. 12. He said he still might visit UCLA and Florida, and also has offers from Wisconsin, Washington and Oregon on the table.
