Basketball: Bingham's Ben Clifford commits to Utah State
One of the state's top junior basketball players, Bingham High's 6-foot-8 Ben Clifford, confirmed Sunday evening that he has orally committed to play college basketball for Utah State.
Clifford, who has started for Bingham since his sophomore year, said that he just felt the timing was right to commit to USU assistant coach Chris Jones -- and then head coach Stew Morrill -- on Sunday.
He was Bingham's leading scorer this past season and helped the Miners get to the 5A semifinals, where they lost to Lone Peak.
"I have been thinking about it all last week and I pretty much decided the next time I talked to [USU coaches] I would tell them," Clifford said.
He also had scholarship offers from Portland and Weber State.
"Utah State is close to home, but it's not too close to home," he said. "It just seems like the perfect place for me."
