Roundup: Local JUCO prospects sign with four-year schools

SALT LAKE CITY — Wednesday was the first day for junior college prospects to officially sign with Division I schools, and a number of local players found landing spots to continue their basketball careers.

Many of the in-state’s signees come from JUCO national champion Salt Lake Community College. The Bruins, led by NJCAA coach of the year Todd Phillips, captured the 2016 national championship a month ago and sent a dozen players to four-year institutions.

Here’s a look at the signees at the state of Utah’s institutions.
