Football: Battle of L.A. for Martinez?
Scout.com is reporting that Cottonwood High lineman John Martinez, rated as the No. 1 prospect in Utah's class of 2009, has pretty much put UCLA and USC at the top of his list and is saying it is a toss-up between the two Los Angeles-area schools for his services.
"UCLA has the facilities, but USC has my game," Martinez said. "It's going to be a hard decision."
However, he still plans to visit LSU when it plays host to Georgia on Oct. 25 and says the Tigers are No. 4 on his list, just behind Ohio State.
Contacted Wednesday, Martinez's father said there was "some truth" to the report, but didn't exactly give it a ringing endorsement.
John Martinez told the Web site he will make his final decision when Cottonwood's season is over.
By the way, the elder Martinez took exception to a previous blog here that said Cottonwood could have more than four Division I football recruits if a couple more players get their grades up. Turns out, one of the players I had in mind has left the program and is reportedly trying to get into another Region 6 school.
Steve Martinez says other potential scholarship kids for the Colts this season (who are not struggling academically) include Jason Bilanzich, Cole Peraza and Alo Moli.
-------------------
A source tells me that Lone Peak baseball star Dillon Robinson has committed to BYU's baseball program. Robinson, a third baseman, will be a junior this fall and is believed to be the first incoming junior ever to commit to the Cougars.
I haven't been able to verify that, but it sounds plausible.
Robinson led the Knights in hitting with a .479 average last year. He had 35 hits, 22 RBIs, scored 21 runs and had five stolen bases.
