Purdue transfer Matt Haarms to announce Thursday

Original reports had him going to Kentucky. We got a shot at him. 7' 3" senior center

When he announces BYU tomorrow, I think we can safely declare that Cosmo's recent victory in the Sirius/XM mascot poll and BYU advancing to the Finals of the Fox Sports college basketball fan poll were the final determining factors.



To paraphrase Yoda's final words to Luke Skywalker, "do not underestimate the powers of [Twitter polls]."

Vanquish the Foe has an article saying that:

Evan Daniels, Director of recruiting at 247 Sports and FS1 college basketball analyst, made his crystal ball pick for BYU Wednesday night

This would be huge for us although we really are more in need of a guard than another big man.

2nd only to Shawn Bradley in terms of tallest BYU players of all time.

Wow....that's a big deal.

Best news in BYU sports in months! Woohoo!

I wonder if he's bothered to Google: BYU Basketball #32

But can he shoot the 3?

31% from 3 last year. He wants to improve that part of his game.

But can he play PG?

We still have some time on that front.

With Haarms BYU's front line will be one of the best in the nation. It may be the best.
