Boylen Takes Timeout to Visit Prospective Recruit
The Utes returned to practice today, after taking a day off that allowed coach Jim Boylen to travel to Atlanta to have a look at Jeremy Olsen, a 6-foot-10 center from Collins Hill High School in nearby Suwanee, Ga.

Didn't even have travel problems with the weather, either.

Apparently, Boylen was able to join a couple of boosters who just happened to be traveling to Atlanta at the same time on their private jet, so Boylen arrived home safely early this morning, despite that nasty blizzard that blew through.

At any rate, Olsen lived in Utah as a young boy, maintains a 4.0 grade-point average, and has been receiving offers from quite a list of schools -- including Brigham Young, Xavier, Providence, Auburn and Notre Dame. He's a junior this season, meaning he would be part of the 2009 recruiting class.
