Basketball: 15 years later, Nebraska signs another Utahn
Talented Utah high school basketball players don't leave the state to play college basketball all that often, but when they do, they go to.........Nebraska.
OK, not all the time. But the Cornhusker hoops program recently signed its second Utahn in about 15 years.
West Jordan High senior Rayes Gallegos signed with Nebraska and coach Doc Sadler last week. The 6-foot-2 shooting guard had committed to the Cornhuskers a few months ago.
The last time a Utahn signed with Nebraska, he went on to become one of the top 10 scorers in school history. That was Skyline High's Jaron Boone, son of Utah Jazz broadcaster Ron Boone.
Gallegos had a solid junior season for coach Scott Briggs at West Jordan, but he really blossomed on the summer AAU circuit while playing for Utah Pump-N-Run White. He averaged close to 25 points a game and was rated as the No. 53 shooting guard in the country by Scout.com.
Gallegos helped the Jaguars go 16-7 last year and averaged 10.5 points a game.
