New Home Coming for U. Hoops Blog
Just a quick update (finally, right?) to let readers know that with a switch in coverage plans for the upcoming season, our Utah Utes basketball blog soon will be wrapped into one that also covers the football team.
My colleague Lya Wodraska will handle that, as she will be taking over coverage of the basketball team while I prepare for and cover the 2010 Vancouver Olympics in Canada. The switch will allow uninterrupted coverage of the Utes from the first jump ball to the final whistle, and put all of our information on the most popular Utes sports in one place.
The current basketball blog will be redirected to Wodraska's existing blog at http://blogs.sltrib.com/utes sometime in the next week, so you might be keen to make the adjustment in your bookmarks.
Meanwhile, and we apologize for being a little late to the party, but the Utes have picked up an oral commitment from J.J. O'Brien, a 6-foot-6 small forward from Alta Loma, Calif., who visited campus earlier this month and chose the Utes over Creighton and San Diego State. He's the second commitment the Utes have received for the 2010 recruiting class, after Missouri's Preston Guiot — son of the Southwest Baptist coach who so notoriously beat the Utes to open the season nearly two years ago — earlier this summer, leaving coach Jim Boylen with one expected scholarship opening for that recruiting class.
The Utes open practices Oct. 16 — barely a month away!
