Coach and Style Tipped Wilcox Toward Huskies
The Utes did not do anything wrong in recruiting Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox, his father told my colleague Jay Drew late last night, but "it just felt right" for the younger Wilcox to choose to play college ball at Washington, instead.
"What intrigued me the most is coach [Lorenzo] Romar and their style of play," Craig Wilcox told The Seattle Times, seemingly unconcerned that the Huskies are bringing in three new guards in the fall as they attempt a return to a three-guard style.
"When you are 6-5 1/2 and can shoot the three the way he can shoot it, you can play anywhere and be a fit no matter who is out on the court," Craig Wilcox said.
The player himself told the Daily Herald in Provo that he liked both schools, but that Washington felt like a "better fit for me" after making an unofficial visit a couple of weeks ago. Yet he also hinted that the Utes don't run enough or play good enough competition for his liking.
"It's an up-speed team," he said. "I like how they run and play in the open floor. I also like the level of competition I'll be facing."
However true that might be, his father said he doesn't doubt the Utes under Boylen. "I personally believe coach Boylen is going to do something special at Utah," Craig Wilcox said.
