Basketball: A look at Snow College's prospects
A post a few weeks ago about Salt Lake Community College's basketball team and where many of the Bruins' stars will be going next year brought several requests for information on Snow College's team.
We aim to please here at the ol' Trail, so I got in touch with Snow coach Michael Ostlund and here's what I found:
Snow only has three sophomores -- Renee Farias, Christian Wouden and Mark Mulford -- and all three will have a chance to play for a four-year school next year, if they so desire.
Farias is Snow's best prospect. The 6-foot-2 guard from Caracas, Venezuela by way of New Mexico Junior College would be a Division I prospect, but he's so far behind in English that he is going to have to go to a Division II or NAIA school.
A lot of recruiters will be at the Scenic West Athletic Conference tournament in Twin Falls, Idaho, this week to see what Farias can do.
Wouden is a 6-8 inside player from Box Elder High and Mantua, Utah, who originally walked on at Snow and then went on an LDS Church mission. He is Snow's "dirty work" guy, Ostlund said, and will get a chance to play for a Division II school or the like although he doesn't have any offers yet.
Guard Mark Mulford is in a similar situation. The former Granger High star has a chance to go somewhere and play if he wants, although he's been used sparingly this year for the Badgers.
As far as the future goes, Snow has received a commitment from Clearfield High star Cameron Evans. Junior college coaches generally don't extend offers this early, but Evans needed an answer from Snow's staff a month ago because he was also getting some offers in football.
Anybody who saw Evans play this season for the Falcons, or during the 5A state tournament last week, knows that the 6-4 athlete can play. Next year's Snow team will also include former American Fork guard Brennan Davis, who returned from his mission and is already enrolled for spring semester.
Ostlund said he will probably sign seven more players, most of them from Utah high schools.
He didn't want to name any of the guys he's looking at, for obvious reasons.
However, my guess is that the list includes several of the seniors we've listed before: Brighton's Ali Langford and Abe Millsap, Davis' Connor Van Brocklin and Jackson Stevenett, Alta's Taylor Brown, Pine View's Louis Garrett, Snow Canyon's Dalton Groskreutz, Timpanogos' Skyler Halford, Lone Peak's Kimball Payne, Viewmont's Tommy Barrett, Woods Cross' Patrick Day and Elliott Bullock of Olympus.

Utah women's track and field coach Kyle Kepler announced he has signed two student-athletes to letters of intent recently.
Joining the Utes will be Langley Iverson, a high jumper from Galena High in Reno, Nevada, and Bree LeRoy, a hurdler and long jumper from Gig Harbor High in Gig Harbor, Wash.
