Basketball: Provo's Collinsworth visits ASU, Kansas
When a high-profile program such as Kansas jumps into the picture, you know the kid is turning into a national recruit.
That's the story this summer on Kyle Collinsworth, the Provo High guard who is by far the most recruited local prep basketball player from the class of 2010 (rising seniors).
A quick update on Collinsworth:
He went on an unofficial visit to Arizona State last week, then attended the Elite Camp at Kansas.
At ASU, Collinsworth worked out for two days in front of coach Herb Sendek and his staff. He was also able to meet ASU's athletic director, strength and conditioning coaches, the team nutritionist and several academic advisors. He got a complete tour of the new basketball training facility.
ASU is now recruiting Collinsworth heavily, with Sendek having visited Provo to watch him play.
Sources say Collinsworth's play in Las Vegas last April has boosted his prominence nationally.
As for Kansas, Collinsworth was also given the red carpet treatment in Lawrence. He was given a tour of the campus and met with the coaches and some of the Jayhawks' top players.
Kansas didn't offer, but its coaches said they will continue to watch Collinsworth the rest of the summer.
Collinsworth has been at the Utah State team camp with his Provo High teammates this past week.
The rest of the month will be spent attending the NBA Top 100 camp in Virginia and attending the BYU team camp with his teammates.
Along with Arizona State and Kansas, Baylor, UCLA, Florida and Oklahoma State have jumped into the picture for Collinsworth, according to a source familiar with his recruitment.

As I said before, there's no way this kid leaves Provo. Brother, high school teammates, lives in Provo, plays for Drury, grew up rooting for BYU. It's done. Too bad if he misses out on something amazing like Kansas basketball. He can miss ASU and Herb Sendek without feeling bad, though!
