UC Davis lands a Utah high schooler

"The Spectrum has learned that 6-foot-5 Desert Hills forward Tyler Ott has verbally committed to play basketball at the University of California, Davis.

"I’m actually glad that the stress of answering the phone calls is gone," Ott said. "(Now) I can focus on Desert Hills and doing great things with Desert Hills this year."

Ott made an official visit to the school this weekend, and his AAU coach Dwain Schallenberger said the visit went well, which prompted Ott to give his commitment to head coach Jim Les.

"He’s going to have a chance to play there," Schallenberger said. "I couldn’t be more at peace. Everything about it felt great."

Added Ott: "At the end of the day, I felt like I was (their) No. 1 recruit."

Pepperdine, Weber State, Southern Utah and Dixie State were the other schools in the hunt for Ott's commitment."

Here is a description of the young man: "...is a versatile player that can play at the 2 or 3 spot with excellent range out to the three-point line.  Ott has good handles and can find the open man with an above average basketball IQ. Like most prospects, he needs to hit the weight room..."
 
Here's a six minute video of Ott.
