Basketball: A few weekend odds and ends
I'm in Fontana, Calif., for NASCAR races today and Sunday, so don't have much recruiting news to pass along, unless you think Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s jump from the No. 8 Budweiser car to the No. 88 Amp Energy Drinks car is worth posting about.
However, here are a few basketball recruiting tidbits I've gathered the past week:
* Although UVSC has not announced it, it appears that former Viewmont star Sol Jensen will end up with the Wolverines. Jensen, brother of former University of Utah star Alex Jensen, originally signed with Weber State prior to his LDS Church mission. Doesnt look like the Wildcats want him back.
* Former Skyline High star Nate Bendall has also returned from a mission, but his status is also uncertain. Bendall signed with Utah State before leaving, but the Aggies haven't exactly welcomed him back with open arms.
Bendall is attending Salt Lake Community College, but is not playing for the Bruins. He is considered a 4-2-4 by the NCAA, so he will have to graduate from SLCC before he moves on to any NCAA school other than Utah State.
* UNLV is taking a good look at East High's Malcolm Colbert and Olympus big man Elliott Bullock. They've also expressed a little interest lately in Pine View wing player Louis Garrett, whose brother, Brad, is at Oklahoma State.
* We've written a lot about Lone Peak's Tyler Haws, Provo's Brandon Davies and Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox, the best juniors in Utah right now. Another junior, Bountiful's 6-5 wing Sean Carey, is also moving up the list.
Carey, who has family members in Indiana, will make unofficial visits to Ball State, Butler and Indiana when the state tournament is over next week.
