The Ol' College Try

Ever wonder if you could make it in the big show? Ever think you could have taken your street game to SportsCenter?

Well, your chance is here. Or was.

Two basketball organizations in Utah recently held — or will hold — open tryouts. That’s right, no invitation needed. You just show up and play.

The Utah Flash of the NBDL recently wrapped up tryouts in Lehi, Utah, and are planning to hold a tryout in Atlanta, Oct. 24. Go to utahflash.com to register — and bring along a check for $150.

Meanwhile, Utah State is having walk-on tryouts, Oct. 13 at 6:00 p.m. in the Spectrum.

Anyone interested must be a full-time student and must bring their own equipment. For information call (435) 797-3133 or e-mail Lance Beckert, Director of Basketball Operations, at lance.beckert@usu.edu.

Hey, give it a shot.

Otherwise, you’ll always wonder.
