A transfer from Southern Methodist University has committed to the Runnin' Utes, according to multiple media reports, adding depth to Utah's point guard rotation next season.
Sedrick Barefield, a 6-foot-2 guard from Corona Centennial High (Corona, Calif.), will join Utah next season after transferring mid-year from SMU. Barefield only played 16 minutes in five games before deciding to leave the program last month. The Mustangs (15-0) have also been troubled by NCAA violations under coach Larry Brown.
As a senior, Barefield averaged 20.6 points, 4.2 assists and 1.4 steals for the 25-6 Centennial Huskies, where he earned multiple all-area honors. He also played for the Compton Magic, where his teammates included 5-star big man and UCLA commit T.J. Leaf.
According to Rivals, the 3-star prospect had offers from Baylor, Kansas State, Missouri and UNLV among others coming out of high school.
Barefield took a visit to Utah last month. On Wednesday afternoon, his AAU coach Etop Udo-Ema tweeted a picture of the guard on his visit, with the caption "Sedrick Barefield is head to UTAH. Congrats to @SedrickB_2 and the Family #PAC12." Barefield went on to retweet it himself.
