Football: Bingham has more big-time recruits
I caught up with Bingham High linebacker L.T. Filiaga, who will be a senior this fall, at the recent meet and greet at BYU's LaVell Edwards Stadium last week.
Filiaga said he has been sitting on the same three scholarship offers -- BYU, Utah and Stanford -- for quite a while now. However, Boise State, Washington and Notre Dame have been in contact and a Notre Dame coach recently visited Filiaga and some other prospects at Bingham.
"Really, I'm not really focusing on [recruiting] a lot right now," he said. "I am more focused on my schoolwork and getting ready for my senior season."
Filiaga has a 3.9 GPA and recently scored a 19 on the ACT college admission test. He told me that because his GPA is so high in core curriculum courses, that ACT score is high enough to get him in to almost any school in the country.
He said he is in absolutely no hurry to make a college decision, and plans to wait right up until just before signing day next February to decide. He's confident that the offers will still be there, he said.
"I don't want to worry about which schools want me during my senior season," he said. "I want to take care of all of that after [the season] is over."

Bingham High' s Mike Edmunds was also at the deal put on by recruiting guru Tom Lemming at BYU.
Edmunds, a 6-foot-4, 195-pound receiver, is not well known because he was not a big part of Bingham's offense last year. The Miners had a great rushing attack and one of the best tight ends in the country, Austin Holt.
Edmunds should see the ball a lot more this season, and not just because Bingham has an excellent quarterback coming back in Jake Soffe.
However, Edmunds is drawing recruiting attention because he fast (4.47 speed in the 40) for an athlete his size.
Along with Filiaga and Bingham defensive end Remington Peck, Edmunds has been invited to play in the American Classic Bowl in the Super Dome in New Orleans on Jan. 1, 2009.
Bingham coach Dave Peck has been invited to be the defensive coordinator for the West team.
Edmunds said he does not have a Division I scholarship offer yet, but has had communication with BYU, Stanford, UNLV, Washington, Washington State and Colorado.
