Basketball: Where Brighton's grads are heading
Several readers have asked about the outstanding boys basketball team that Brighton High had last winter, and where some of the Bengals' top players are going to college aside from Jace Tavita, whose signing with Utah was well-publicized.
Talked to coach Lyndon Johnson today, and he gave me the latest:
* Ali Langford, the 6-foot-6 wing player, has signed with Northern Idaho College, a junior college in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The Cardinals play in the same league (Scenic West Athletic Conference) as SLCC, Snow College and the College of Eastern Utah.
* John Sherwood, the 6-3 shooting guard, has signed with Glendale Community College of Arizona.
* Abe Millsap, the 6-3 brother of Utah Jazz forward Paul Millsap will play for a prep school in Connecticutt.
* Clark Richardson, the 6-3 guard, will walk on at BYU.
-----------------------------------
Of course, one of the best players on Brighton's team last year was freshman guard Corbin Miller. The sophomore-to-be has had a great spring and summer playing for the Salt Lake Metro club team and will be one the most highly recruited players in state history when his prep days are done.
After playing in the Houston Kingwood Classic last month, Miller was ranked as the No. 40 player at the tournament by hoopscoop.com. By way of comparison, Washington-bound C.J. Wilcox of Pleasant Grove was No. 17, Lone Peak's Tyler Haws was No. 26 and BYU-bound Nate Austin of Lone Peak was 58.
Miller was the second-highest ranked freshman at the tournament.
-----------------------------------
Speaking of the Milsap family, 6-foot-6 Elijah Millsap announced on Thursday that he is transferring from Lousiana-Lafayette to Alabama-Birmingham (UAB). Elijah, a 211-pound guard/forward, will have to sit out next season per NCAA transfer rules, and will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Blazers.
Paul Millsap's younger brother averaged 10.7 points and 6.4 rebounds a game for the Cajuns in two seasons.
