Talented Junior Haws Keeping Options Open
He's only five basketball games into his junior year, but already Lone Peak guard Tyler Haws is adept at handling the recruiting question. Sounds like he's been asked about it 100 times before.
"I'm keeping my options open," Haws told me Friday after his team crushed Bountiful in a preseason game. "I am not going to make a decision until after this [school] year."
Haws, of course, is the high-scoring 6-foot-4 guard who already has scholarship offers from BYU, Utah and Pepperdine. The list of offers is sure to grow as the season progresses.
Haws has scored 112 points in five games, and almost certainly will lead 5-A in scoring this yeark, despite the fact that he's on a team with four or five other potential Division I players.
Haws told me he is not leaning in any direction right now, but wants to make a commitment next summer, before his senior year begins. His father, Marty, caused a slight stir among those who follow recruiting last week when he paid a surprise visit to a Utah practice.
"He was just up in Salt Lake and just decided to go see how they ran things," Tyler Haws said. "My dad likes [Utah coach Jim] Boylen a lot."
Marty Haws was an All-WAC performer at BYU 17-18 years ago, but his son has said numerous times that doesn't mean he is ticketed to BYU.
"I have grown up a BYU fan , though," he said.
Haws' cousin, Jake Kuresa, was a four-year starting offensive lineman for the BYU football team.
Another junior in the state, Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox, also has offers from BYU and Utah. Haws and Wilcox played on the same club team this past summer and are good friends, but aren't really planning on playing together in college.
If it happens, it happens, Haws said.
"He's got his own goals and stuff," Haws said. "We really don't talk about going to the same college or anything like that."
