Nevill Working to Prepare for Draft
Now that we're back from burning some vacation time after the season ended, we can get you caught up on a few things going on with the Utes.
Center Luke Nevill remains in Salt Lake City preparing for the NBA Draft in June, mostly by swimming, lifting weights with university strength coach Doug Elisaia and scrimmaging with the Utes. The 7-foot-2 Australian has hired agent Keith Glass, and said he a few teams have expressed interested in him; he had been scheduled to work out for the Oklahoma City Thunder, for example, but had to reschedule because of graduation.
The Thunder, incidentally, have the No. 4 and No. 25 picks in the first round of the draft, though a mock draft at NBADraft.net does not have Nevill being selected.
Meanwhile, the coaches have been out recruiting, trying to land some talented players for the 2010 class. Director of operations Jonathan Dykema said the full staff isn't expected back on campus until Thursday, when it will conduct individual workouts with the players in the last week they will be allowed to work with them until school begins again next fall.
Assistant coach Jeff Smith, by the way, is a proud new father. His wife Alison gave birth on Good Friday to the couple's first baby, a healthy baby girl named Marlie Amelia Smith.
