Basketball: UAB lands JUCO recruit that Utah liked
According to the Birmingham (Ala.) News, UAB has received a commitment from a top junior college player whom the University of Utah was apparently interested in.

Maurice Bolden, a 6-foot-10 center who is ranked as one of the top five JUCO players in the country by the Midwest Scouting Service, committed to UAB coach Mike Davis on Saturday. Bolden played at Wingfield High in Jackson, Mo., before moving on to Marion Junior College.

The News said Southern Miss, Iowa, Auburn and Utah were also after Bolden.

Utah State's football program got a late commitment recently from Micah Parker, a tight end from Mesa (Ariz.) Community College. Parker recently visited Logan and told Scout.com that he will become an Aggie.

"I was offered and have the paperwork and I will sign when I get home," he told the Web site via a text message.

A 6-foot-1, 250-pound sophomore, Parker played high school football at Gilbert High in Arizona and two seasons at Mesa. He caught 29 passes for 437 yards last year.
