Basketball: Provo's Collinsworth narrows list to three
It is getting close to crunch time for the state's best boys basketball player to choose where he will be playing college basketball.
Provo High's Kyle Collinsworth has said he would like to decide by the middle of October, and he has started eliminating some schools and narrowing his list.
According to a source familiar with Collinsworth's recruitment, the Provo senior has pretty much narrowed his favorites list to BYU, USC and Virginia.
He visited Arizona State, Kansas, Utah, UNLV and Stanford (on unofficial visits) but has eliminated those schools and won't be making any official visits to any of them.
Collinsworth made his official visit to USC on Sept. 4-5 and was given the red-carpet treatment. He toured the new $150 million Galen Center, attended the USC-San Jose State football game and met athletic director Mike Garrett.
His hosts for the trip were Jordan Cameron, a former BYU basketball player who now plays football for the Trojans, and James Dunleavy, son for Los Angeles Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy.
USC likes Collinsworth because of his versatility; He can play point guard, shooting guard and small forward/wing.
New Virginia coach Tony Bennett, who began recruiting Collinsworth when he was at Washington State, is still pursuing Collinsworth hard despite having already secured commitment from four other top recruits.
Virginia is trying to set up an official visit and is telling Collinsworth that his commitment would give it a top 10 recruiting class.
As for BYU, Cougar coaches made an in-home visit last weekend. Collinsworth, whose brother Chris played for the Cougars his freshman year before departing on an LDS Church mission, will take his official visit to BYU the weekend of Sept. 25-26.
