Utah Basketball and Football Recruiting Update

It was a bigger recruiting week for the Runnin' Utes basketball team than the football team this week, as head coach Larry Krystkowiak picked up two commits in the last week. One was 6'11" four-star center Jayce Johnson, which Shane touched on here. Utah also landed 6'2" JUCO SG Jojo Zamora (Yuba College, Marysville, Calif.). Finnish four-star recruit 6'10" PF Lauri Markkanen was in town this past weekend to take an official visit to Utah. Markkanen will visit Arizona and North Carolina as well before making his decision. If the Runnin' Utes can pull in Markkanen to pair with Johnson, they could have arguably one of the best front courts in the nation.
