Is Tyler Haws poised to become the greatest boys basketball player the state of Utah has ever produced? It might seem like a silly question considering that the state has produced several NBA players, but seriously, the kid is still just a junior in high school and he could probably start for half the colleges in the country, right now. A year from now, he'll be one of the most sought after recruits in the country.

For those of our readers who've seen Marty Haws' boy play in person, how good do you think he is? Am I exaggerating his potential, or do you think it's legit?

Either way, by the time he graduates from Lone Peak High School he'll surely put his name on this coveted list of Deseret Morning News Mr. Basketball recipients at least once, if not twice.
