Basketball: Provo junior Kyle Collinsworth is blowing up
BYU-bound guard Tyler Haws is having a sensational senior season for Lone Peak, scoring 30 points and grabbing close to 20 rebounds in one particular game last week.
Now, some scouts and college recruiters are saying that Kyle Collinsworth, a 6-foot-6 combo guard from Provo High is getting college attention that will surprass what the highly recruited Haws received.
Collinsworth, the brother of BYU forward Chris Collinsworth (currently on an LDS Church mission in Australia) is simply blowing up this season for the Bulldogs.
Provo coach Craig Drury recently said Kyle Collinsworth is the best junior he has ever seen in the state of Utah when it comes to basketball.
One Pac-10 coach reportedly said recently that if Collinsworth played in a bigger city, he would be a five-star recruit.
A pair of coaches from Wake Forest attended Collinsworth's game against American Fork recently, then called when they returned to North Carolina and said they were extremely interested.
USC, Washington State, Gonzaga, Cal, Stanford, BYU, Utah and Utah State have also been to games and/or practices to watch Collinsworth. His teammate, 6-9 center Brandon Davies, has signed with BYU.
--------------------
Haws, Davies, West Jordan's Reyes Gallegos (Nebraska) and other top seniors signed in November with their chosen schools.
I asked an assistant coach at one of the state's five major basketball programs the other day if there are any good seniors left who may end up signing with a Division I school. He said there probably aren't, but that the two best unsigned players remaining are probably Tyler Staheli of Woods Cross and Sean Carey of Bountiful.
