considering he lives in Phoenix and was offered by Arizona, I’m not sure how much of a chance Utah has? Head to head with AZ I think were 0’fer
But he is a legacy kid maybe there’s some sway
Why do we think there is no shot!? Pace remains connected to the community – he has been a voice / on air personality for the Jazz up until recently. In the link Pace is wearing Utah gear. I would suspect he is very “gettable.”
UCLA also has interest.
I hope we land him, but those are some heavy hitters in the college hoops world, and we are oftern on the losing end of those. Just being realistic.
Nico has lots of friends in Utah. My daughter is one of them. He stays in touch with many of his friends and teachers from Juan Diego/St. Johns.
I would think that if we feels like we are on the verge of breaking through to the top of the PAC then we have a helluva good chance.
