Football: Alta LB Toloa'i Ho-Ching has offers, but stays patient
One of the state's most-recruited high school football players this year, Alta High linebacker Toloa'i Ho-Ching, says he is in no hurry to pick a college even though some of his favorite schools -- such as BYU -- are close to running out of scholarships.
"I don't really have a deadline," Ho-Ching said. "Me and my dad and my grandpa have to pray about it, and then I will probably decide."
Scout.com recently came out with its list of the top 150 high school seniors in the West, and Ho-Ching is No. 89.
Wednesday night, Ho-Ching said he is 6-1 and weighs between 215 and 220 pounds.
The all-stater said he has official, written offers from Wyoming, Wisconsin, Utah State and BYU and that a handful of other schools are close to offering but want to watch him play a few games this season.
Schools on that list include Stanford, UCLA and Penn State, he said.
He has already set up one official visit. Ho-Ching said he will go to Wisconsin on Sept. 5 to watch the Badgers play Northern Illinois.
He said his top three schools right now are BYU, Wisconsin and Stanford and that Wisconsin seems to be recruiting him the hardest.
He said he has grown up a BYU fan and likes the school partly because his parents both went there.
And he has already qualified academically for most schools, with a 3.7 GPA and a passing score on the ACT test.
-----------------------------
Ho-Ching certainly isn't the only Utahn on the West Top 150 list.
Timpview's Bronson Kaufusi (a BYU commit) is No. 11, followed by Brighton defensive tackle Ricky Heimuli (uncommitted ) at No. 19.
Pleasant Grove quarterback Dallas Lloyd (Stanford commit) is No. 56 and Bingham lineman Tuni Kanuch (BYU commit) is No. 90.
Pleasant Grove defensive end Joe Kruger (Utah commit ) is No. 97 and Alta lineman Jordan Black (BYU commit) is No. 145.
Kruger played for Timpanogos last year, but has transferred to PG.

Fun story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram about the matchup between Utah's Bingham High and Texas' Euless Trinity in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium on Sept. 7.
I especially got a chuckle out of Bingham coach Dave Peck's final comment: "I just hope we are able to give them a game."
