Utah Pump N Run Basketball

The Utah men's basketball program announced its signees, Preston Guiot, a 5-11, 175-pound guard out of Bolivar, Mo.; Dominique Lee, a 6-4, 200-pound guard out of Oakland, Calif., and JJ O'Brien, a 6-6, 205-pound guard out of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.

Also committing to the Utes Wednesday was Neal Monson, a 6-10, 215-pound center out of Sandy, Utah.

"I am really excited about this class," Utah coach Jim Boylen said. "Similar to what we accomplished last year, we have brought in another versatile class that fills multiple positions. This group adds even more depth, toughness and athleticism as we continue to build this program."

Guiot averaged 24 points, five assists and three steals as a junior, Lee ranked among the top 10 upperclassmen in the state of California last year averaging 17 points and 12 rebounds and O'Brien averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds while ranking among the top 15 players in California.

Monson, who plays for Waterford H.S., averaged 20 points and 15 rebounds in addition to six blocks a game. Waterford is coached by his father, Reid, who played for Utah from 1986-89.

O'Brien is considered the premier player in the class after earning first-team all-CIF Div. 2 honors and being named the MVP of the Baseline Conference.

"He is another big wing player who gives us more length, scoring ability and versatility," Boylen said. "He also possesses great lat-game scoring and decision-making ability."
