Football: Pocatello QB has no Utah offers
His brother played football at Arizona State and one recruiting service has called him the top football athlete to ever come out of the Pocatello, Idaho, area.
Yet quarterback Taysom Hill, a junior at Pocatello's Highland High School, has yet to see a lot of college scholarship offers.
"Idaho State is my only offer right now," the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Hill told me at the recent 7 on 7 passing camp in Las Vegas. Hill led Idaho to a win over the Utah No. 1 team that made it to the semifinals.
The well-spoken Hill, who plans on going on an LDS Church mission, perhaps after his first year of college, said he is interested in both BYU and Utah, but has not heard much from either school.
"I went to BYU's camp last summer and talked to them a little bit and stuff, not like a whole bunch," he said. "Since then I haven't talked to them or anything like that."
Logan's Jeff Manning, Washington's Jake Heaps and Montana's Brock Osweiler, the 6-foot-8 quarterback who has committed to play basketball for Gonzaga, were all at the camp. However, I was most impressed with Hill, who threw the prettiest ball and seemed to have the most arm strength, along with Manning.
Hill said Boise State and Oregon have expressed the most interest in him lately, along with Idaho State, an NCAA Division I-AA school in the Big Sky Conference.
Oregon State, Stanford and Washington State have also requested film.
Hill was still trying to decide which schools' camps he will attend this summer.
"I'm still contemplating," he said. "Obviously, I am going to go to places that are interested in me."
Hill's brother, Jordan Hill, originally committed to BYU and coach Gary Crowton out of high school, but changed his mind while on his mission and transferred to Arizona State. He was a defensive lineman for the Sun Devils.

Bountiful High tackle Daren Denucci is not showing up on a lot of national recruiting lists, but sources tell me the 6-foot-5, 250-pound junior is starting to get some serious looks from a lot of Division I programs.
Denucci attended Junior Day at both BYU and Utah, and Cal has also invited him to check them out. Denucci was a member of the basketball team at Bountiful that played for the 4A state championship and lost to Provo.

Odd. If Hill "threw the prettiest ball" at the 7 on 7 thingy I wonder why only Idaho State has offered. Could there be other factors recruiters are looking at?
