Basketball: Utah State offers Bingham junior-to-be
Just got word that Ben Clifford, the rising junior from Bingham High, has been offered a basketball scholarship by Utah State.
Clifford, 6-7, recently played for Salt Lake Metro Black at the Pangos Cream of the Crop tournament in California (see post below). He had 18 rebounds in one particular game.
Anyway, when Clifford returned home on Tuesday, the Aggies apparently contacted him and offered the scholarship.
It is Clifford's first offer (remember, he's only a junior), but more are expected in the next year.

Just got an email from Darren Denucci, a lineman from Bountiful High who will be a senior this fall. Darren says LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton just emailed him and "said he would love me to come to LSU's camp the week of July 20-22."
Denucci says he sent film to LSU last week, and has also sent a tape to Washington.
Another Bountiful athlete, two-sport star Travis Parrish (football and basketball), is also drawing a lot of interest for his football talents, especially from the University of Utah.
The 6-4 outside linebacker has the type of frame and athleticism Utah coaches like for their defensive ends, a la Paul Kruger.
-----------------------
A good source (who has always been on the money) emailed me tonight with word that Hunter High lineman Ryan Mulitalo will meet with BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall on Friday and is expected to commit to play for the Cougars.
Mulitalo is listed as a 6-foot-3, 310-pound rising senior on ESPN's Web site. Hunter is the same school that produced BYU's all-conference lineman, Ray Feinga.
Mulitalo's mother recently died and his father is in poor health.
At BYU's camp last month, line coach Bruce Weber reportedly worked with Mulitalo one-on-one for 30 minutes. Mulitalo is considered a raw talent, but camp witnesses say he held his own against Timpview's Bronson Kaufusi, a BYU commit from the class of 2010.
