Count TK Among Utes With International Summer Plans
Make it three.
Point guard Tyler Kepkay will join teammates Kim Tillie and Luka Drca in spending time training with teams representing their home countries this summer. Director of basketball operations Jon Dykema said he just learned that Kepkay expects to participate in a training camp with the Canadian national team in early June -- presumably in preparation for its final attempt to qualify for the 2008 Beijing Olympics at a tournament in Greece in July.
Kepkay is not included on the most recent training camp roster posted on the Team Canada web site, and he's never played for the national team (even at the youth level, I don't believe), so he's probably unlikely to make the squad for the qualifying tournament. But still, any time he or any of the Utes can spend training with players at that level can only help ...

I agree. It sounds like Kepkay's only real basketball experience before Utah was as a College of Eastern Utah Golden Eagle.
I just remember how incredible Tyler played against Cal. Then he seemed to lose his confidence. I hope the experience this summer rebuilds him, because the current coach's "yelling in your face style" didn't seem to build him back up to the level in which he arrived in. GO UTES!
