Alta Loma's O'Brien commits to play basketball at Utah
Alta Loma senior J.J. O'Brien committed to Utah on Sept. 16 after visiting the campus in Salt Lake City, Utah the first weekend of September.
The versatile 6-foot-6, 205-pound small forward, a first-team all-Inland Valley player a year ago, narrowed his eight scholarship offers to a final three of Utah, Creighton and San Diego State.
"(Utah) just had a way better family feel than anywhere else," O'Brien said. "I decided to go ahead and commit before the season because a lot of people told me I couldn't get any more attention than I did this summer."
O'Brien, who averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game for the Braves last season, played for a reputable travel ball team this summer in addition to competing in several notable camps.
Some of his other scholarship offers: Pepperdine, University of San Diego, University of San Francisco and University of Portland.
