Basketball: Lots of Utah traveling teams in Vegas this week
The Mountain West Conference football meetings just ended here in Las Vegas, so I am going to try to catch a few high school basketball all-star games around town this afternoon and this evening.
No fewer than five major tournaments are going on this week in Vegas, and everywhere you turn down here you see a teenage basketball player.
The team with the best Utah players this year seems to be the Utah Pump N Run Red team. They play at 6:20 p.m. PT today over at Rancho High, and I am going to go watch Provo's Kyle Collinsworth, Bingham's Ben Clifford, Waterford's Neal Monson and others play against the Derek Smith All-Stars.
I will have a report later tonight.

The Utah Pump N Run 16-and-under team is also playing in the adidas Super 64 tournament for its age group. Unfortunately, the 16-year-olds are playing at the same time as the 17-year-olds today, so I won't be able to see their game.
The team has been to the semifinals in four straight national tournaments, and is trying to break through with a title-game appearance this week. They play the Minnesota Pump N Run tonight, and are also in a pool with the Indiana Elite and HP Elite from New Orleans.
Here is their roster: Austin Bankowski, Woods Cross ; Michael Brown, Wasatch; Nate Ensign, American Fork, Nathan Fakahafua, Highland; Morgan Hesleph, Juan Diego; Peter Howey, Woods Cross, Tanner LeBaron, Timpanogos; Christopher Melville, Timpanogos, Sam Orchard, Highland; Zach Stanley, Lehi and Blake Wilkinson, Viewmont. The team is coached by Eric Johnson and Dave Thompson.

The Utah Pump N Run White team (17-and-under) is also in the Super 64 tourney. They defeated the Carolina Cobra All-Stars 76-57 on Wednesday morning.
