Taking a look into the future
With the end of the season probably not even a week away, it might not be a bad time to check in with the three players who will be joining the Utes next season.

And it's not a bad view, either.

Riverton's Morgan Grim has been enjoying a superb season, leading the Silverwolves into the semifinals of the Class 5-A boys basketball tournament tonight against Spanish Fork. The 6-foot-7 forward and his fellow Wolves - they're 16-7 - will be looking to avenge a one-point overtime loss to the Dons earlier this season.

Carlon Brown was just as good, but not quite so lucky.

The 6-4 shooting guard from King High School in Riverside, Calif., missed a three-pointer that would have forced overtime in a 66-63 upset loss to Los Alamitos in the Division I-A sectional semifinals earlier this week. Still, Brown has averaged about 17 points per game this season, helping lead King to a 27-4 record and Ivy League championship.

Meanwhile, power forward Nemanja Calasan scored 19 points for Midland College, but could not prevent a 94-91 home loss to Frank Phillips College in the Western Junior College Athletic Conference title game in Texas on Thursday night. Midland missed out on the No. 1 seed at next week's Region V Tournament, but the 22-8 Plainsmen still will have the No. 3 seed.
