This and that on local prep basketball recruiting
Been talking to a couple of basketball people today and thought I would throw out some information on what's been going on in Utah prep basketball recruiting the past little while.
* The latest on Lone Peak guard Tyler Haws is that he made an unofficial visit to Davidson when he was back east a few weeks ago to participate in that NBA Players Association Top 100 camp in Charlottesville, Va. He was also scheduled to visit Wake Forest, but didn't make it over there.
Coincidentally, Haws was roommates in Virginia with Jeremy Olsen, the 6-foot-9 post player from Georgia who has committed to Utah.
That would seemingly be good news for the Utes. However, some folks close to Haws believe Utah may be slipping off his radar screen and that it is turning into a two-way battle between BYU and Stanford.
Haws was on BYU's campus most of last week, competing in the Cougars' team basketball camp with his Lone Peak teammates. Lone Peak won the championship, beating Provo in the title game.
Lone Peak will play in another team camp in Kansas City in a couple of weeks, and Haws is also scheduled to participate in the Reebok All-American Camp in Philadelphia in mid-July.
* Several sources have confirmed that Orem's 6-10 Ian Harward, who will be a senior this fall, has an offer on the table from Utah State. Harward isn't returning calls, however, so I can't determine whether he is leaning toward accepting the offer or not.
* Bingham lost to West Jordan for the second-straight year in the finals of the Rocky Mountain Hoops Classic on Saturday in Denver, Colo. Remington Peck, the recent BYU football commit, played in the game, along with Ben Clifford, a 6-8 junior-to-be who is starting to draw a ton of college interest. I'll have more on Clifford in a later post.
Reportedly, Reyes Gallegos, Jordan Wierick and Mason Sawyer played well in the game for the Jaguars, who looked to be a contender for the 5A title next winter, along with Bingham and, of course, Lone Peak. Skyline and Riverton also played well in the 40-team (varsity) affair in Colorado, as Skyline lost to West Jordan in the semifinals and Riverton lost to Bingham in the quarterfinals.
Bingham defeated West Jordan in the Utah team camp the week before Denver, but that tournament was won by Judge, which defeated Bountiful in the championship game. Point guard Stallon Saldivar, who will most likely be the next great Judge point guard to land a Division I scholarship, was instrumental in the win.
