Basketball: BYU-bound Davies a steal for Cougs, expert says
Prior to the beginning of the early signing period, Scout.com got four of its analysts together to talk about the high school basketball Class of 2009.
Of note for local fans is what analyst Greg Hicks had to say when asked for his "biggest sleeper" in this year's class.
"Brandon Davies is the best player nobody talks about and BYU got a steal with his commitment," Hicks said. "He's good enough to play at any school in the country. Great feet and hands, with a high skill level. "
Davies was one of four players who signed with BYU on Wednesday, joining Lone Peak's Tyler Haws and Nate Austin and Orem's Ian Harward. Austin and Harward will go on church missions before enrolling.
Also, when asked who has "the best stroke" in the senior class, Hicks pointed to another Utahn, C.J. Wilcox of Pleasant Grove. Wilcox has signed with Washington.
"There aren't a lot of great shooters in the West," Hicks said. "I will go with C.J. Wilcox."

It appears that the University of Utah is heavily pursuing a standout receiver from Tucson, Ariz.
J.J. Holliday of Santa Rita High in the Tucson area, a receiver and defensive back, has five college offers, including one from the Utes. Colorado State, Wyoming, Air Force and Arizona State have also offered the senior with a 3.75 GPA and SAT score of 1,300.
Holliday told Rivals.com that he has set up visits to Colorado State and Utah.

BYU hasn't released its list of softball signings yet, but one fine athlete who has signed to play for the Cougars is Hannah Howell, a senior at Calvin High in central Louisiana.
Howell has started for her high school team since the seventh grade and has been named the Class C MVP three times. She's been a part of four state titles in five years and has been a Class C all-stater five times.
A pitcher, Howell has a career record of 95-12 with 1,060 strikeouts.
