Football: BYU in four-star Cal QB's top eight
Spurned recently by UCLA (which offered and received a commitment from another prep quarterback over the weekend), highly touted prep quarterback Josh Nunes of Upland, Calif., has cut down his list of potential college choices to eight.

Locally, BYU made Nunes' top eight list. Utah did not.

Nunes was originally going to narrow his choices to five, but told rivals.com that at this point he could not get it lower than eight.

The top eight (all the schools have offered) are Arizona State, BYU, Florida, Harvard, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Stanford and Tennessee.

The Cougars still have to be considered a longshot to land Nunes, who is not LDS.

Also, it is not clear yet if BYU is still interested in Nunes, after Monday's announcement that USU quarterback Riley Nelson is transferring to BYU. Both quarterbacks would be available for the 2009 season, but both would have redshirt seasons at their disposal.

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

Olympus ended up placing fourth in that AAU Pacific Northwest tournament in Reno, Nev., over the weekend. The Titans lost to Bingham 52-49 in the third-fourth place game.

Olympus defeated Cameron Park of Northern California 51-32 in the quarterfinals behind 14 points from Corbin Green, bbrother of University of Utah foward Shaun Green.

Harvard? Is he kidding? If he really cares about going to an uppity smart school, he could at least pick Stanford and go for free.

Or he could go to an uppity school that thinks they're smart and choose BYU.

Or he could take the path of least resistance and go to the ewe, because any idiot can get in there.

I guess that would explain all of the BYU fans on campus.

Notice he has no further interest in Utah. I don't either.
