New Zealand Teen Hoping to Land Spot in Utah
Speaking of international players, it looks like a young Kiwi has caught the eye of the Utes ... and the Cougars.
Teen-aged shooting guard Brook Ruscoe of New Zealand apparently has put himself on the radar with both teams by sending video clips of his play to schools in the United States. The Utes evidently have been receiving quite a few tips on players in Australia and New Zealand, after playing an exhibition tour Down Under last summer.
However, the Utes have not offered a scholarship to the high-scoring 17-year-old, according to a source close to the situation, though the player said his hopes of playing at an American university "will be resolved within the next month." Ruscoe plays internationally for the Junior Tall Blacks, the Under-19 national team in New Zealand, and led the team by averaging 16.6 points at a tournament in Germany in March.
