The 6-foot-8 power forward out of Roy High school has played well enough on the AAU circuit this spring to land himself two premier invites. Chapman will attend the Pangos All-American Camp. He will also attend the NBA Top 100 Camp, annually the most difficult camp to get an invitation from. The last Utah player to receive an invite there was Kyle Collinsworth, who will be a sophomore at BYU next season. While Chapman is at the Pangos Camp, he is expected to take a visit to UCLA.
