Football: Sky View star still looking at Navy
I posted a few weeks ago about McKade Brady, a multi-purpose athlete at Sky View High in Smithfield, Utah who had received a scholarship offer from Navy.
Brady said today that he didn't sign with Navy on Wednesday because he wants to take a trip to Annapolis, Md., before making up his mind.
However, the quarterback/receiver/defensive back said he is 90 percent sure he will sign to join the midshipmen.
"If I like it, and I am pretty sure I will, then I will sign," he said.
Brady says that Utah, Utah State and BYU all talked to him about becoming a preferred walk on, but no local Division I school delivered a scholarship offer.
"I'm not going to turn down a scholarship just to walk on somewhere else," he said.
-----------------------------------
Another Utah prospect I was pretty high on entering last fall's season was Pine View quarterback Nick Marinko. Suffice to say, I was surprised Marinko's name didn't show up on any Signing Day lists.
Marinko told me Thursday night that he is still considering his options.
Mostly, he is waiting to see if he gets accepted at Pennsylvania, an Ivy League school that does give out athletic scholarships.
"If I get accepted, I will probably go there and walk on to the football team," he said.
If that doesn't work out, Marinko is also considering walking on at Dixie State College or accepting a partial grant-in-aid from Southern Virginia University, where former Dixie High and Copper Hills coach Mike Smith is a football coach and athletic director.
------------------------------------
West High's Fusi Lutui has orally committed to play basketball for Miles Community College in Miles City, Mont.
Lutui, a 5-foot-10 forward, is averaging 13.5 points and 9.5 rebounds a game for the Panthers.
She will join two other Salt Lake City area products at Miles, Brittany Tattersal and Shannon Hildreth.
Miles is 23-1 and ranked 14th in the nation in NJCAA Division I.
