Coach Taking Time to Watch Prospects in Texas
The Utes are working out twice today, but coach Jim Boylen won't be attending the second workout.
He'll be on a plane.
Boylen is headed off to recruit in Dallas, where he plans to watch a trio of prospects over the next two days. The targets? Small forward Roger Franklin of Duncanville High School -- the powerhouse that brought you Greg Ostertag -- power forward Jeff Georgatos of the Episcopal School of Dallas and shooting guard Marshall Henderson of Bell High School in Hurst, Texas.
All three are big-time targets who appear on ESPN's RecruitTracker national list, though Franklin and Georgatos are the highest rated by that service. The 6-foot-5 Franklin is rated as the 26th best small forward in the country, with the 6-7 Georgatos rated the 32nd best power forward.
In other words ... Boylen ain't recruiting the outer reaches of Serbia, anymore.
The coach is expected to catch Henderson in action tonight, and watch Franklin and Georgatos in a doubleheader at SMU on Wednesday.
The highlight is the clash-of-titans nightcap, in which Franklin and his Duncanville team -- a perfect 39-0 last season, with a mythical national championship -- take on Oak Hill Academy, the legendary basketball factory that went 40-1 last season and was unbeaten this season until losing back-to-back games last week.
