Recruiting odds and ends from the weekend
A few odds and ends from over the weekend....
* Some readers took issue with my assertion that Tyler Haws, C.J. Wilcox and Lone Peak's 6-10 Nate Austin were the top three recruitable basketball players from Utah's class of 2009. They believe Provo's Brandon Davies should have been put in that group, and they are probably right.
However, Austin's recruitment is heating up.
His father says that along with Utah State, Fresno State, BYU and Utah seem to be the most interested in him at the present time and that he will most likely make a decision in the fall.
* Keep an eye on Park City sophomores Dylan Chynoweth and Erik Walker as two of the better football players in the Class of 2010. Both attended last weekend's Schuman National Underclassmen Combine in Boise.
Chynoweth was the Combine MVP for sophomores after recording a 34-inch vertical jump, a 4.6 in the 40.
Walker was the overall MVP and the Fastest Man with a 4.5 in the 40. He posted a 36-inch vertical jump and was acknowledged for locking down receivers all afternoon as a defensive back in one-on-one drills.
Due to his MVP designation, Walker received an invitation to the Ultimate 100 Camp at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., in July.
* Jordan High girls basketball star Bev Smith has signed to play basketball for Westminster. Smith earned honorable mention all-state honors in Class 5A last season.
* Marc Jackson, the former Olympus High and University of Utah basketball star, let me know that he is no longer the basketball coach for the Utah Southvalley Community (USC) school at Woodland Hills. He quit about a month ago.
Jackson would not specify why he decided to part company with the new private school owned by real estate developer Bob Jones.
Jackson has joined a company called Sportz Filmz,which makes teaching tools for coaches and a memory library for youth, high school and college players. It was founded by member of former BYU linebacker Bryan Kehl's family. Kehl, of course, was drafted by the New York Giants in the fourth round on Sunday.
* Taysom Hill, the quarterback from Highland High in Pocatello, Idaho, picked up offer No. 4 recently. A rising senior, Hill received an offer from Boise State, which is something in and of itself because the Broncos are notorious for not making as many early offers as other programs.
Idaho State, Stanford and Arizona have also offered Hill.
* As noted by The Tribune's Tony Jones in the high school blog, Alta senior basketball star Taylor Brown has signed with Utah Valley State College.
