The University of Utah men's basketball program has started to build an interesting pipeline to Hungary over the past few days.

On Friday, Jordan Loveridge signed with Egis Kormend in the western part of the country, and on Sunday, his former teammate Brandon Taylor inked with Alba Fehervar in central Hungary.

Taylor's agent Daniel Moldovan tweeted the news.

After a four-year career with the Runnin' Utes that saw him become a key figure in head coach Larry Krystkowiak's rebuild of the program, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound Taylor was most recently on the Atlanta Hawks' summer league team in Las Vegas.

As a senior for Krystkowiak, Taylor averaged 9.7 points and 3.9 assists per game.
