  I live in AZ, and watched Nico Mannion a bit in the state playoffs (his team won the high school championship, largely due to his amazeballs skills). The kid is a mad baller.
  
  Does anyone have any insight? We all know his dad played for the Utes, and he’s considering Utah along with AZ & UCLA. Bobby Hurley was at the high school championship game hoping to woo Nico to ASU. I think Duke & KY have expressed interest too.
  
  Anyway, he has skills and he would be a HUGE get for the Utes. I’m not sure Larry K has ever received a commitment from a player as highly ranked & rated as Nico? And while I admit I rarely put too much stock in rankings & ratings, I’m always amazed by what Coach K can do with players that come in almost always under the radar. I’d love to see what he could do with a Nico Mannion kinda guy.

  How much $$ have AU and UCLA offered him? Did his visit to Kentucky have a happy ending?

    Come on…it’s not just about money. It’s about the total compensation package they’re offering – salary, benefits, PTO, 401(k), etc. Not sure we can match all that.

  Would be amazing to land that kind of talent. It’s the way the Utes get over the hump and take down a conference title and make some noise in the Big Dance again.

  Do you remember that one highly-touted High School QB prospect from Sammamish, Washington?? I think that happened to him.
