Utes Pick Up Another Recruit
Just got word a short while ago that the Utes have picked up a verbal commitment from highly regarded Jace Tavita of Brighton High School -- giving them a full recruiting class for 2008-09 already.
The 6-foot-4 Tavita -- think he's a Lakers fan? -- spent last season at Patterson Prep School in North Carolina because of academic ineligibility at Brighton. But his coach said Tavita has improved markedly in the classroom since then -- he did well in summer classes, for example -- and is "very capable" academically, suggesting the Utes have landed a good one.
After all, Tavita said he had offers from the likes of Washington State, Oregon, Arizona State, Wake Forest and Brigham Young -- though the Cougars were "too late in the game" to seriously consider. With moves like this one, it's not hard to understand why.
The Utes now have three players committed to the 2008-09 class, including guard Chris Hines of Klein Forest High School in Houston and Jason Washburn of Central High School in Battle Creek, Michigan.
