SALT LAKE CITY — The Runnin’ Utes have added another center to its roster with the signing of Jakub Jokl.
Jokl, a 6-foot-11, 230-pound forward from the Czech Republic, signed a National Letter-of-Intent Thursday and will be available to play for the Utes in the upcoming season. Jokl played one season at the Canarias Basketball Academy.
“We are very excited to welcome Jakub to the Utah basketball family,” Utah head coach Larry Krystkowiak said in a prepared statement. “His size and skill will be a great addition to our front court.
“Jakub also brings valuable international playing experience to our team after coming to us from a great CBA program where he has worked hard to improve and has been developed by great coaches,” Krystkowiak added.
