Still Hoping to Lure Lone Peak Standout
The Utes don't have a scholarship to offer him next season, but Lone Peak's Josh Sharp is making a recruiting visit starting today just the same.
Coaches evidently are hoping to lure the 6-foot-7 forward into the program as a walk-on next season, with the promise that he will receive a scholarship after returning from a two-year LDS Church mission, presumably in time for the 2011-12 season.
As part of his visit, Sharp is expected to play with the current members of the team during an "open-gym" sort of voluntary workout Saturday.
And that's just part of a busy weekend for the current Utes, who also are expected to cheer participants in the Young Alumni Scholarship 5K race in the morning and venture onto the field at the end of the third quarter of the football game against Utah State in the afternoon, when coach Jim Boylen will urge fans to attend the annual "Night With the Utes" on Oct. 12.
