Top Recruit Making Utes Look Good
Let the legend begin.

While the Utes are preparing for their game tonight against Ole Miss at the Glenn Wilkes Classic -- center Luke Nevill is off to the best start of his college career -- one of their latest recruits is enjoying the lingering buzz from the greatest performance of his life.

Shooting guard Marshall Henderson of L.D. Bell High School in Texas, who just signed a letter-of-intent to join the Utes next season, erupted for 50 points in a 102-77 victory over Fort Worth Southwest on Tuesday.

Evidently, Henderson scored 25 of his points in the fourth quarter -- on the road, by the way -- and made six three-pointers. No wonder teams such as Gonzaga, Stanford and Bradley tried to lure him.

Meanwhile, the Ole Miss Rebels are hoping to find an answer to the season-ending injury suffered by junior guard Eniel Polynice. One option, coach Andy Kennedy said, is to go small against the Utes looming lineup.
