Jazz GM Kevin O'Connor had to put out his best recruitment efforts to keep the Rocky Mountain Revue going.

"There's been some recruiting involved, absolutely," O'Connor said of the time he has spent over the past month collecting enough commitments to keep the Rocky Mountain Revue afloat for another year. "I made sure I kept talking to people, letting them know what we're doing and how much we'd like to have them here."
 
His efforts have convinced five other teams to join the Jazz this summer, essentially the minimum number to justify the effort and expense of putting on the Revue. "We've got six teams, six solid teams, so that will keep us going," O'Connor said. "We would love to have it be a little bigger if we could. But with six, that gives us a workable number."
 
The Mavericks, Spurs, Sonics and Hawks have agreed to send their rookies and tryouts to the Revue again this year, but the Bobcats pulled out. After calling around and making his pitch, O'Connor received a commitment from the Sixers for this summer's Revue, tentatively scheduled to run July 14-21 at Salt Lake Community College's Redwood campus.
 
"That gives us three games a day, and gives us a chance to have a couple of days off during the Revue, so teams don't have to play three days in a row," O'Connor said. "It's a good situation for fans, and I think everyone appreciates the fan support we get."
