Soccer: Alta's Ohai is next big thing
A lot of the posts on this blog are about the big spectator sports -- football and basketball -- but in reality far more Utah high school athletes are recruited in other sports.
Take girls soccer, for example. Last time I checked, more than 75 Utah girls from the class of 2008 were moving on to play college soccer somewhere. I can't think of a sport in Utah that produces more.
In boys basketball, for instance, there have only been a dozen or so Division I signees.
That said, the Tribune's Chhun Sun has an interesting blog on the top girls soccer player in the state, Alta's Kealia Ohai, who is just heading into her junior year.

Apparently, there are some College of Southern Idaho fans/alumni in Utah who want to know how many Utahns have signed to attend and play sports for CSI next fall and winter.
Here's the list I've come up with:
Boys basketball: Louis Garrett, forward, Pine View.
Baseball: Preston Olson, pitcher, Taylorsville.
Girls basketball: Kim Gamblin, forward, Riverton; MeChel Hunt, forward, Fremont.
Softball: Brie Dimond, pitcher, Juan Diego; Brittany Gonzales, infielder, Tooele; Ashley Chappel, infielder, Spanish Fork; Generra Nielson, pitcher, San Juan; Michon Vanderpoel, infielder, Taylorsville.
