SALT LAKE CITY - Junior college transfers Kevin Bradley and Travis Spivey, and Utah high school standout Marc Jackson have signed national letters of intent to play basketball at Utah. The announcement came Thursday from Ute head coach Rick Majerus.
Spivey played this past season at Salt Lake Community College and was named the Scenic West Conference Player of the Year. The 6-2, 200-pound point guard was also named the Utah junior college player of the year by the Utah Tip Off Club. He averaged 18.2 points, 9.3 assists and 8.3 rebounds at SLCC. He also shot 40.0 percent from three-point range and had a 2.2 assists/turnover ratio.
Spivey had 14 double-doubles and six triple-doubles for the Bruins, who finished 23-8 overall and 13-5 in the conference. The Myrtle Beach, S.C., native started as a freshman at Georgia Tech before transferring to Iowa State, where he sat out the 1998-99 season.
Bradley averaged 18.5 points, 4.9 assists and 3.9 boards in 28 games for Compton Community College (Calif.) last season. The 6-foot, 175-pound guard made 38.4 percent of his three-pointers and 75.2 percent of his free throws. Bradley graduated from Crenshaw High School in Los Angeles, then redshirted at Irvine Valley College (Calif.) due to a broken foot before transferring to Compton.
Jackson, a 6-2 guard, earned first team all-state honors as a junior and senior at Olympus High School. Jackson averaged 27.2 points a game in 21 regular-season games to lead the state in scoring as a senior. He also posted 7.0 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 3.0 steals per game. Jackson was named the 1999-2000 Class 4A MVP by the Salt Lake Tribune and Defensive Player of the Year by the Deseret News. He was also named to the Utah Tip Off Club Terrific Twelve for boys basketball.
Although his Olympus team lost in the first round of the 4-A tournament, Jackson had 22 points to cap an outstanding prep career. Jackson was a three-year starter in basketball and was the starting quarterback on the Olympus football team last fall.
During the early signing period last fall, the Utes landed Jon Godfread, a 6-11 forward/center from Grand Forks, N.D. Lance Allred, a 1999 graduate of Salt Lake City East High School, also signed with the Utes after electing not to go on an LDS Church mission. He has been a part-time student at the U. this past academic year and will join the Utes in the fall.
