Summary

Brighton High shooting guard Brandon Miller verbally committed to the University of Utah on Wednesday evening.

SANDY — Brighton High shooting guard Brandon Miller verbally committed to the University of Utah on Wednesday evening.

Miller averaged 21.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists during his junior season last year in leading Brighton to the 5A state championship game against Lone Peak. Miller is a great shooter who also knocked down 67 3-pointers last season.

Along with Utah, the 6-foot-2 guard was being recruited by BYU, Utah State, Stanford and Arizona State, among others.

Miller joins East High standout Parker Van Dyke, who verbally committed to the Utah earlier this summer.

The verbal commitments by both Van Dyke and Miller are excellent recruits for coach Larry Krystkowiak to land as he tries to rebuild the program.

From a loyal Cougar fan, I'm very happy that Utah is getting some good talent again. The games have become quite a bit less fun as of late. It'll be nice when they're rolling again so Utah has better representation in the NCAA tourney.

Welcome aboard Brandon!

The return of a great program continues to look more and more likely. I'm glad to see the coaches going after so much of the local talent. There's more talent in the state of Utah than previous coaches More..

The Utes need baby steps to climb back. These local recruits are going to be giant leaps in climbing back.
