The recruiting trail
Girls from the club basketball team known as Salt Lake Metro continue to make their college decisions known. Most recently, Taylor Altenburg, a 6-foot wing player from Elko High in Nevada, orally committed to sign with New Mexico State. Altenburg played the past two years on a Salt Lake Metro team that now has six Division I recruits on its roster. Box Elder's Mandy Munns chose Utah, Skyline's Dani Peterson and Timpview's Alexis Kaufusi chose BYU, Beaver's Morgan Wood and Canyon View's Cassie Platt chose Southern Utah. Altenburg is ranked as one of the top wings in the Intermountain West by the Intermountain Hoops Scouting Service, which notes that "Altenburg is an extremely good shooter, She can knock down the three or put it on the floor." She averaged 17.2 points and 8.7 rebounds last year for Elko High and is a three-year starter.
