Boylen Brings In First Group of Recruits
The Utes are still planning to entertain shooting guard Jordan Cyphers of Southeast High School in Kansas on a recruiting trip to campus this weekend, but two high-profile players believed to be recruiting targets of new coach Jim Boylen are not expected to visit.
Point guards Oscar Bellfield of Westchester High in California and Demetri Goodson of Klein Collins High in Texas won't be invited to campus, according to sources close to the program, even though the scout.com recruiting network says that both have significant interest in the Utes and have received scholarship offers.
Cyphers will visit along with the three players who already have committed to join the Utes next season -- guard Jace Tavita of Brighton High School, guard Chris Hines of Klein Forest High School in Texas, and center Jason Washburn of Battle Creek Central High School in Michigan.
It will be the first time since he was hired that Boylen entertains prospects on campus.
The Utes also plan to bring forward Jared Swopshire of the IMG Academy in Florida to campus for a visit, though a date has not been set. He and forward Josh Sharp of Lone Peak High School are the only other players the Utes are heavily recruiting.
Swopshire made his first recruiting trip last weekend to Clemson, according to PalmettoSports.com. That site said Swopshire also plans to visit Marquette and perhaps Louisville and Cincinnati, and that he doesn't have a favorite.
