Football: Is Utah Recruit Wavering?
One of the junior college stars who committed to the University of Utah football team last spring, Lamar Chapman of El Camino Community College in Torrance, Calif., may be wavering on that commitment a bit.
Chapman visited Kansas State last weekend "to check everything out" and has told several recruiting experts that it is not a done deal that he's headed to Utah.
Chapman, who committed to the Utes last May, has completed his two years of eligibility at a junior college. But because he has not taken his redshirt year, he will have three years to play two at a Division I school.
He's a three-star recruit according to both Scout.com and Rivals.com.
Along with Utah and Kansas State, Chapman has received offers from Arizona and San Diego State. He is scheduled to make his official campus visit to Utah this weekend. He has also said he will visit Arizona State before the signing day in February.
In May, it appeared the Utes needed some immediate help at cornerback. But with the way junior Brice McCain and sophomores Sean Smith, Robert Johnson and R.J. Stanford played in the defensive backfield for the Utes, it appears they no longer need that help.
Two other sophomores, Joe Dale and Justin Jones, also contributed, and safety Steve Tate is the only regular who graduates.
It might be better for the Utes to use the scholarship on a high school senior that they can develop, because unless Chapman is an all-world talent, he might not get on the field for several years.
