Basketball: Local juco stars moving on
More college basketball signings to report.....

* Yahosh Bonner, a former Cedar City High star who spent last season at Salt Lake Community College, has signed with the University of Northern Colorado.

Bonner, a 6-foot, 185-pound point guard, helped the Bruins get to the NJCAA national championship game last month. He also played at Mountain View High in Mesa, Ariz., and Cochise College in Douglas, Ariz.

* Another SLCC player, guard Chris Medina, has signed with Carroll College in Montana. Media played high school basketball at Ogden's Ben Lomond High and was also a key part of that SLCC national juco runner-up team.

* Former Riverton High star Eric Dearden has signed with Western Wyoming CC. Dearden is transferring from the College of Eastern Utah, where he sat out the year with an injury. Both Dearden and Medina played club basketball for Salt Lake Metro.

--------------------------

We mentioned yesterday that BYU has offered a scholarship to Josh Nunes, a 6-4 quarterback from Upland, Calif.

Nunes, a four-star recruit, released a statement a few days ago saying that he will announce his top five choices on May 27, the day after Memorial Day.

"Shortly after that I plan to pick my college," he noted.

He listed several reasons for wanting to commit early, including the desire to spend more time working with his younger brother, who is also a quarterback. Also, he wants to be able to allow the schools that do not get him to continue their recruiting efforts with a little more clarity.
