Utes Closing on Wilcox, But New Rivals Appear
If nothing else, the Utes have beaten all of their in-state rivals in the recruiting battle for Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox.
Now, if they can just nudge past everybody else.
As my colleague Jay Drew reporting on his recruiting blog, the all-state guard has told people that he has narrowed his college choices to the Utes and Washington -- and that he has informed Utah State and Brigham Young, among others, that they are out of the picture.
Wilcox's father -- former BYU player Craig Wilcox -- said upon hearing about the player narrowing his choices, Miami and Florida State contacted him, asking him to visit their campuses before making a decision. Craig Wilcox said he son expects to make a decision this weekend whether to open up his recruitment again, or concentrate on the Utes and Huskies.
Incidentally, the 6-foot-4 guard recently was named among the top 75 players at the Houston Kingswood Classic tournament in Texas. He checked in at No. 17 (and No. 11 among juniors), according to HoopScoopOnline.com, ahead of heralded Tyler Haws of Lone Peak High School, who was rated No. 26 and No. 16 among juniors.

Exciting stuff! Whittingham has the football team on the rise and poised for a big year and Boylen has the Utes on the road back to national prominance. I have a feeling the Utes are about to turn the rivalry tide back in our favor this year.
