Utes Target Juco National Champ
Rick Shoff buried a crucial three-pointer to help Salt Lake Community College mount a spectacular comeback and win the national junior-college championship last season, and he soon will be bringing his skills to the Utes.
The 6-foot-3 guard from American Fork (and younger brother of former Brigham Young player Jake Shoff) is expected to join the Utes as a walk-on next season, when he figures to be fully recovered from the knee injury that forced him to work his way back into shape as last season progressed. Still, Shoff started 34 games for the 31-6 Bruins, averaging 7.8 points and 3.1 rebounds while shooting 45.1 percent from the floor and 35.8 percent from three-point range.
The Utes confirmed that they have been recruiting Shoff, but under recruiting rules, they are not allowed to comment on any player until he signs a letter of intent or joins the team.
