Utes Feeling the Love From Recruits
Coach Jim Boylen already has started using the trip to the NCAA Tournament as a recruiting tool. In fact, he was scheduled to make phone calls to a list of prospects the other night, to update them on where and when the Utes will be playing.
But Boylen said he's feeling just as much interest from recruits these days as he tries to convey to them.
"I can't text recruits anymore," he said. "They changed that. But I can get texts back from recruits, you know, 'Saw your game, great win, love the way you play.' So these kids are dialing in. The recruiting process is pretty interactive now, and the one thing I tell recruits is, 'You have to recruit us, too.' ... The worst kind of love is when only one's in love, right? So I talk to my recruits. 'We need some coming back, it let's me know you're interested when we get a little back.' It's been good."
