Basketball: Haws, Wilcox shine at Houston club tourney
Here's a wrapup of how Utah's top club team of 17-year-olds (Salt Lake Metro) fared at the prestigious Houston Kingwood Classic last week. Most of the information is courtesy of Metro coach Dave Hammer.
Metro includes arguably the state's top three college prospects from the class of 2009: Lone Peak's Tyler Haws, Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox and Lone Peak's Nate Austin.
Haws recently returned from an unofficial recruiting visit to Stanford and has been selected to the Scouthoops.com Top 100 juniors in the nation list by Dave Telep.
Wilcox has pending scholarship offers from San Diego, Utah State, BYU and Utah. However, UConn and LSU have expressed major interest lately and could be close to offering.
Austin, a 6-foot-9 center, is the state's top post prospect. He recently received a scholarship offer from Utah State. Kentucky, Utah, Stanford, San Diego and BYU have expressed interest.
BYU's Dave Rose and Utah's Jim Boylen were among the hundreds of college coaches who attended the tournament. More than 250 17U teams from all over the U.S. competed in the event.
In pool play, Metro opened with a 72-51 win over the Portland Legends as Wilcox scored 18 points, Haws added 15 and Brighton's Corbin Miller chipped in 13. Miller is just a freshman, but is already drawing college interest. Tommy Tebbs, who has moved into the Lone Peak boundaries, added 11.
Next up was California powerhouse Compton Magic. Metro defeated the Magic 79-75 as Haws scored 35 points on a game that was televised nationally by GrassrootsTV. Wilcox added 19 and Olympus' Elliott Bullock chipped in 10.
Metro began tournament play with a 58-52 win over a New Mexico team. Haws had 20 and Wilcox 18. Then Metro defeated Yakima, Wash., 76-67 as Wilcox had 26, Haws 23 and Miller 18.
Miller, the Brighton phenom, is ranked No. 34 in the nation for his class by Hoopscoop.com.
Alas. Metro was eliminated in the Sweet 16 by the Carolina Celtics, 48-43. Austin had 15 rebounds in that game, while Wilcox and Haws had 15 and 14 points, respectively.
The team also included Clearfield's Cameron Evans (who has signed with Snow College) and Pleasant Grove's Craig Tucker.
Olympus' 6-10 Bullock, the only senior on the squad besides Evans and Tucker, has drawn some late recruiting interest and could be signing with a program soon.
