Utah basketball: JuCo guard Tim Coleman commits to Runnin' Utes

A 6-foot-1 junior college guard is the latest commitment for Utah basketball's 2016 class.

Tim Coleman, a guard out of Lee College (Baytown, Texas), committed to play for the Utes next fall after his official visit this week, and expects to sign Monday. The Utes expect him to bring physical toughness to a rebuilding backcourt next year.

"I feel like I can bring toughness and experience, and just play some good defense," Coleman said. "The people there embraced me. They showed me love and seemed excited to have me."

Coleman said he had offers from Seton Hall and Creighton.
