Basketball: Haws narrows choices to BYU, Stanford
Utah high school basketball superstar Tyler Haws has narrowed his choices to two colleges and canceled scheduled visits to the other three, a source close to the Lone Peak High shooting guard confirmed earlier today.
Haws, the 6-foot-4 senior who is listed as one of the top 100 prep prospects in the country by several recruiting Web sites, will attend either BYU or Stanford.
After visiting Stanford last weekend, Haws called coaches at Utah, Davidson and Harvard and told them they were no longer in his plans, but if things changed he would let them know.
Haws "loved it" at Stanford, according to the source, and decided on the way back to Utah that if would be either the Cardinal or the Cougars.
He will visit BYU next weekend when the Cougar football team is playing host to UCLA. Haws' father, Marty, is a former BYU standout guard.
Tyler's high school coach, Quincy Lewis, has asked him to decide before Lone Peak's season starts in November, but has not demanded it.
Another source very close to the situation said it is a virtual toss-up now between Stanford and BYU.
"It is 50-50," the source said. "It could go either way."
Haws' plan is to play a year of college basketball and then go on an LDS Church mission. He turns 19 (mission age) in April of 2010.
