Basketball: Haws makes a national top 100 list
Here's more proof that Lone Peak's Tyler Haws has the chance to be the best prep basketball player to come out of Utah in more than 10 years (probably since Murray's Britton Johnsen in 1997-98).

Haws has been selected as one of the top 100 players in the country from the class of 2009 by Dave Telep of Scouthoops.com. Haws is ranked as the No. 96 prospect in the country by the Web site.

Haws will play for the club team Salt Lake Metro at the Houston (Texas) Kingwood Classic later this month.

Prior to Thursday's announcement, Scouthoops.com had only graded the top 75 prospects in the country, so Haws' inclusion is new.

He's one of 22 shooting guards on the list.

Haws has scholarship offers from BYU, Utah and Stanford, although the Stanford situation could change with news that head coach Trent Johnson is taking the LSU job. According to Scouthoops.com, Haws has also drawn interest from Marquette, Gonzaga, Wake Forest and Harvard.

The Ivy League school is interested because Haws carries a 3.95 grade point average.

-------------------------------

Dixie State College in St. George has signed Jessie Ingraham, a guard from Pima (Ariz.) Community College, to its women's basketball team. Ingraham was a second-team NJCAA All-American.

In other recruiting news, Provo guard Vanna Cox has signed to play for SLCC's women's team and Lindsie Wilson, a former Orem High star who played the last two years at Snow College, has signed with Montana Tech, which competes in the same conference as Westminster.

So who is Haws interested in? Who is the front-runner? Where does he want to go?

Haws has been difficult to reach the past few days, and has not given any indication lately which way he is leaning.
However, Utah assistant Chris Jones' decision to leave the Utes for Utah State certainly can't help the Utes in their quest for Haws, Provo's Brandon Davies or Pleasant Grove's C.J. Wilcox.
All three kids like Jones a lot, from what I've been told.
I could see Davies following Jones to Logan, but not the other two.

Jay, just thought I'd mention that we heard down here in St. George that Dalton Groskreutz from Snow Canyon committed to Dixie State. Not big news up north I'm sure, but we're pretty excited down here.

Didn't see you make mention of it here so I hope that info is correct.

Hopefully Haws ends up going to the Y like his father did.
