Utes Lose Heralded Local Recruit to Washington
Bad news for the Utes -- looks like Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox has chosen to play at Washington, instead.

The all-state star had narrowed his list to the Utes and Huskies last week, but committed to the Huskies on Sunday. Sources said the Utes are not certain what factors ultimately pushed them out of the picture, having heard only from the player's father and not Wilcox himself.

Losing Wilcox is definitely a blow to the Utes, who aspire to land the players they view as the best in the state and keep them at home for college. Now, the Utes will have to shift their recruiting focus, and perhaps pursue some junior-college options in next year's class.
