Basketball: 7-foot-2 missionary chooses Arizona State over BYU, others
A 7-foot-2 center from Canada who counted BYU among his five or so major college basketball scholarship offers has chosen Arizona State.
Jordan Bachynski, who is currently on an LDS Church mission in Florida, will sign with the Sun Devils on Nov. 11, he said in an email to ASU head coach Herb Sendek on Tuesday morning, according to several recruiting Web sites.
A source told the Tribune that Bachynski also had offers from Oregon State and UConn, and confirmed that BYU had indeed tendered a last-minute scholarship offer; Scout.com reports that Cal was also in the mix.
Bachynski's brother, Dallin, signed last year to play for Southern Utah University.
Jordan Bachynski graduated from Centennial High in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and then briefly attended Findlay Prep School in Las Vegas. He never played for Findlay, though, due partly to an ankle injury.
Bachynski committed to UNLV before his mission, and then decided to re-open his recruitment while in Florida.
His mission president allowed him to take visits from UConn, BYU, ASU and Oregon State last month, although he did not play basketball in front of the representatives from those schools.
