Utes Land First Recruit for the Class of 2009
Maybe you missed it, since we made it so easy to miss ... but the Utes have secured their first commitment of the 2009 recruiting class.
Forward Jeremy Olsen, a 6-foot-10 forward/center from the Atlanta area whom coach Jim Boylen visited back in February, committed to Boylen over the weekend.
Olsen lived in Utah as a young boy, before starting a prep career at Collins Hill High School in suburban Suwanee, Ga. He averaged 15.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game last season, while drawing recruiting interest from Xavier, Tulane, Iowa, Notre Dame, Alabama, Auburn and Brigham Young.
Scheduled to join the Utes for the 2009-10 season, Olsen figures to fall in line behind incoming 7-foot center Jason Washburn -- center Luke Nevill will be gone by then -- or perhaps become a particularly big power forward. We'll see what he has to say about all of that, just as soon as we can reach him ...

Is there any way to tell how good this kid is besides the ambiguous 3-star rating on rivals?
So, is this the first ever commit who recruited by both Boylen and Rose?
Olsen is a 6'10 power forward who can score inside, but is particularly strong from the outside for his size. He will create match up problems, because he can knock it down from the three point arc.
Cool!
