Football: SUU offers Alta QB Ammon Olsen
With the basketball evaluation period having ended at the end of July and most college football coaches concentrating on fall camps, recruiting news is kind of spotty right now.
However, Les Hamilton, coach at Alta High in Sandy, has let us know that two of his players have received college offers.
Quarterback Ammon Olsen -- perhaps the second-best quarterback in the state behind Logan's Jeff Manning -- just received a written offer from Southern Utah University. Olsen is a 6-foot-4, 195-pound rising senior.
Also, Alta offensive lineman Parker Erickson, 6-foot-3 and 275 pounds, has a written offer from Idaho State.
----------------------------------
Perhaps we should have said that Manning and Olsen are the best throwing quarterbacks in the state. Several newspapers in Utah have reported that Adam Timo, the running back from Snow Canyon High in St. George who has committed to play football for BYU, is switching to quarterback for his senior season.
The Warriors apparently want to more fully use Timo's tremendous athleticism and put the ball in his hands as often as possible.
Timo played quarterback for the Warriors earlier this summer at at BYU 7 on 7 passing camp, so the idea of making the move has been in the works for awhile now.
----------------------------------
A reliable source close to Lone Peak High superstar Tyler Haws has told us that UConn is jumping into the mix for Haws' services, but has yet to offer the 6-4 shooting guard who's listed as one of the top 100 prospects in the country.

Jay Drew writes, "With the basketball evaluation period having ended at the end of July and most college football coaches concentrating on fall camps, recruiting news is kind of spotty right now". Really Jay.....ever consider going up on the hill and even pursuing a story about a recruit for the Utes? Maybe things wouldn't be so slow if you did your job and covered ALL the teams in the state. I dare ya!
I still don't understand biguteguy. Isn't Lya already "up on the hill"? Couldn't she follow Ute recruiting? Her name is listed as working with Jay on this. And what about that other guy whose only job it is to cover Ute basketball? Couldn't he throw in a crumb at some point to make you okay with this?
Maybe I should go on Lya's blog and the ute blog and complain they arent talking about BYU football!
