I've been monitoring several guys in the portal who I think could join the Runnin' Utes:
Kelvin Odih: With the news from Alex yesterday that Kelvin will be visiting, he's at the top of the list, although he's not technically in the portal, since he'll be an incoming freshman. This would be a great addition. The 2025 4-star former West Virginia commit, also visited Rutgers and Marquette in his recruitment in 2024. There will be a lot of competition for him, with good reason. Odih averaged 19.1 points, 11.4 rebounds and 3.2 blocked shots per game as a high school junior and he was the 2022-23 MaxPreps Rhode Island High School Basketball Player of the Year. He's a top 100 recruit.
Cam McDowell – former Georgia and Jacksonville St guard can flat out put points on the board. He was #2 in scoring in all of NCAA DII for Northwestern Oklahoma, averaging 27.3 ppg while shooting 39% from three-point-range. He visited at the end of March.
Jayden Brewer – former FIU guard averaged 14.5 ppg in his first season as a starter for the Panthers. While he only shot 21.2% from beyond the arc, he shot 48% overall.
Will McClendon – the former UCLA and San Jose St guard had his breakout season cut short by a knee injury in February. He hit 35% of his 3’s, averaging 12 ppg.
Blaise Threatt – the First-Team All-Big Sky guard led Weber State in points (20 ppg), rebounds (5.8 rpg), assists (4.4 apg), and steals (1.9 spg) last season. The season before, one of his assistant coaches was Eric Daniels, who the Utes just officially added yesterday as a new assistant.
