Basketball: Orem's Harward commits to BYU
Ian Harward has made his decision.
"I just called coach [Dave] Rose and committed to BYU," he said Friday night. "I am just happy. I think it is going to be a great fit."
Harward also had an offer from Utah State, which was his only offer for several months. But after watching him play for the club team Utah Pump N Run over the summer, BYU coaches apparently liked enough of what they saw to offer him a scholarship.
"I've always dreamed of being a Cougar, and now it is going to happen," Harward said.
The 6-foot-10 rising senior was injured with a bad back for much of his junior season.
He will sign a national letter of intent with the Cougars in November, but that will mostly be symbolic because he intends to leave on a church mission in September of 2009 or even a little before then.
Harward joins Lone Peak's 6-10 Nate Austin, who committed to the Cougars a few months ago.
BYU has two scholarships left to give out to the class of 2009 (or a junior college transfer), and is targeting two other Utah products, Lone Peak's Tyler Haws and Provo's Brandon Davies.
