Prized Recruit Haws Chooses Rival Cougars
Obviously, the Utes knew they weren't going to be landing Lone Peak's Tyler Haws.
But they no doubt wish they would have lost him to Stanford -- not Brigham Young.
Instead, the highly recruited 6-foot-5 shooting guard committed to the rival Cougars on Wednesday, giving coach Dave Rose a huge boost and potentially hurting the Utes for years to come. If Haws turns out to be as big a star as many are projecting, coach Jim Boylen and his Utes are going to have their hands full containing him for the next few years.
Haws had eliminated the Utes from consideration and narrowed his college choices to BYU and Stanford, and his father said it was "50-50" on which he would choose. For what it's worth, the word is that Haws liked Boylen, but didn't have as much passion for the University of Utah -- which makes some sense, considering he lives in Utah County and his father played for the Cougars.
