Utah had one basketball signee come through yesterday afternoon, former Cougar and current SLCC guard, Hunter Erickson. He served a mission out of HS. Then didn’t see much time at BYU the next two years. He transferred to SLCC for this season.
To me, this screams like a “Burgess, what can find us late” pickup, so it’s not the most encouraging thing from a recruiting standpoint. They’re basically hoping he recaptures his HS scoring magic where he averaged over 20 points per game for two years, but that hasn’t been since the 2017-18 season.
Hopefully Erickson has a great year at SLCC and this suddenly looks like a steal of a pickup. In two seasons at BYU he averaged 0.9 points, 0.4 rebounds, 0.4 assists. He never averaged more than 6 minutes a game. Those stats aren’t mentioned in the official Utah signing article, they mentioned his one game played so far at SLCC: 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting with four rebounds, four assists and three steals.
