Basketball: More on SUU's two Australian commits
We mentioned last week that Southern Utah's men's basketball program received commitments recently from a pair of tall Australians, 6-10 Matt Hogdson and 6-11 Nate Crombie.

Hodgson confirmed his commitment in an email, but we had nothing from Crombie. Turns out, that young man's response finally arrived today, via email.

Crombie said he his 6-11 and 95 kilograms. He said he was being recruited by Denver and Hawaii and that he currently plays for the Brisbane Capitals, an ABA team.

"I chose SUU because I thought it was the best program for me as a player, and the coaches are experienced," he said.

Southern Utah is coached by Roger Reid, who visited the Australians along with assistant coach Ron Carling, who has extensive ties in that country. Carling, of course, was the longtime Alta High coach.

Shay Sorensen, a senior at Weber High in North Ogden, has signed a letter of intent to play volleyball for Westminster.

Sorensen averaged three kills and 1.5 blocks per set as a junior. She will be a three-year starter and has been a captain the past two seasons.

James White, a running back from Skyline High in the Dallas, Texas, area, has orally committed to Iowa State. White has rushed for 470 yards and three touchdowns this season.

According to the Dallas Morning News, White chose Iowa State over Minnesota, Colorado and Utah.
