Basketball: Provo High a popular stop for college recruiters
College coaches beat a path to Provo High last week to catch some open-gym workouts.
They were there to see not only Provo's 6-9 senior Brandon Davies, but one of the fastest-rising juniors in the country, Provo's 6-6 Kyle Collinsworth.
Davies has narrowed his choices to BYU, Cal and Utah State, and those three schools all had representatives at Provo last week, according to a well-placed source. Davies will make his official visit to BYU this weekend, and is expected to decide shortly thereafter.
Collinsworth, meanwhile, continues to draw attention from some of the top programs in the country, and one local recruiting expert said he could end up drawing as much recruitment, or more, than Lone Peak's Tyler Haws, who recently committed to BYU.
Last Monday, Utah coach Jim Boylen and assistant coach Barret Peery and a coach from Cal were at the gym just a stone's throw from the BYU campus.
Wednesday, coaches from Utah State and Stanford were there. Thursday, Washington State coach Tony Bennett and BYU coach Dave Rose were there..
The source said more college coaches are expected to visit Provo next week.
-----------------------
Highland High's Latu Heimuli, one of the state's most-recruited senior football players, went on an official recruiting visit to Nebraska over the weekend and witnessed Cornhuskers' humiliating loss to Missouri.
Heimuli, a defensive tackle, is a four-star recruit according to Scout.com. He told the Web site he was impressed with the pregame atmosphere and the athletic facilities in Lincoln.
"Nebraska was pretty high on my list already," he told the site. "I can really see myself going there and playing there."
He said he also wants to visit Arizona, Oregon State and Colorado. Of course, BYU and Utah have both offered the all-stater.
-------------------------
Southern Utah's women's basketball program has received a commitment from Taylor Anderson, a 6-foot wing player from Lyman High in Wyoming. Anderson played the last two years with the Salt Lake Metro club basketball team.
She averaged 13.2 points and 9.8 rebounds a game during the 2007-08 season.
Jadie Parsons of South Sevier High in Monroe, Utah, has also committed to SUU, as has been previously reported here.
