Utah baseball team has plenty of quarterbacks
Intercollegiate athletes can't participate in intramural athletics, but imagine the flag football team the University of Utah could put together the next few years.
We mentioned a few days ago that Layton High all-state quarterback Gavin Green has signed to play baseball for Utah.
Well, so has Judge Memorial quarterback Joe Pond.
Pond helped Judge get to the 3A state championship game in football last fall. He was also an all-Region 10 selection and second-team all-stater in the Deseret News.
------------------------------
Most Utah and BYU basketball fans know that the Utes and Cougars are already involved in several heated recruiting battles for a pair of high school juniors, Lone Peak's Tyler Haws and Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox. Provo's Brandon Davies also has the attention of both schools.
However, there is another high school junior both the Utes and Cougars also want: Jeremy Olsen, a 6-foot-10 center from Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Ga.
Olsen lived in Utah until he was 7 and is averaging 15.2 points and 10.3 rebounds a game for a school in Georgia's 5A division.
Tribune sports writer Michael C. Lewis noted in his blog recently that Utah coach Jim Boylen went to Atlanta earlier this week to watch Olsen play. Go to http://blogs.sltrib.com/utehoops/index.htm.
Along with Utah and BYU, Olsen, who carries a 4.0 grade point average, reportedly has offers from Xavier, Providence, Auburn and Notre Dame.
