Surpassin Expectations

Earlier the Cougars received word of a commitment in one of the most highly recruited high school players in state history in Tyler Haws. After averaging 9 ppg as a freshman Tyler broke out his sophomore year doubling his average to 18 a game leading the state in free throws (129 while shootin nearly 82 percent from the stripe) and led his Lone Peak Knights to a state championship. Haws was named tournament MVP and this last year was named Utah's Mr. Basketball. As a junior he averaged nearly 21 points a game. Tyler was also named the Utah Gatorade Player Of The Year.

Haws has met and surpassed all expectations at the high school level. Tyler is obviously well known for his scoring ability. Just ask Davis High School. Yet, haws also owns an amazing vertical leap; is a phenomenal team player, has icewater in the veins under pressure, possesses all the intangibles, is humble and coachable. That's frankly just barely scratching his developmental surface. Tyler has excellent perimeter range to about 20 feet. He will score mostly off the catch and shoot. Haws has a solid frame with a fairly large wingspan and who can defend well. It doesn't hurt that he's Marty's kid either. This was a must get for BYU especially when you have an individual who's "the complete package" in your own backyard and is the son of a former Cougar. Welcome to the Cougar den. Absolutely look forward to seeing you in Cougar blue!
