Football: Still no word from BYU recruit Kaveinga
Spent a good chunk of my day trying to get in touch with Uona Kaveinga, to no avail.

Really, I got nothing for you on the four-star linebacker who committed to BYU two weeks ago but is still entertaining overtures from USC and, perhaps, UCLA.

Kaveinga's coach at Leuzinger High gave me two phone numbers -- one has a recording saying it doesn't accept incoming phone calls and the other one never gets answered by a human being, either.

Coach Deon Tolliver said he isn't surprised that Kaveinga is not really talking to anybody and called him a humble, quiet kid who doesn't seek the spotlight.

"I don't know if he is going to make the decision to go over there [to Provo] or not," Tolliver said. "He hasn't told me where he is going. I don't know whether that's a sign or not, to tell you the truth."

Tolliver said the only college coaches he has seen at school this week were from Arizona State, and they were there to talk to one of his offensive linemen who has committed to the Sun Devils.

"Nobody has dealt with Uona at the school that I know of recently," he said. "If they are talking to him, they are going straight to him and his parents, not me."

Just got a little bit of swimming recruiting news, courtesy of my colleague at the Tribune, Chhun Sun.

Sounds like the University of Denver has offered a scholarship to Judge Memorial senior swimmer Alex Carter. Pepperdine has also shown interest in the three-time state champion in the 100 breaststroke and the current 3A state record-holder in the event.

The state swimming meets begin this weekend at BYU's swimming complex.
