Being the son of former BYU standout guard Marty Haws, the athletic genes run deep in the family. With his quarterback cousin Alex Kuresa committing to BYU and his older cousin Jake having played offensive line for the Cougars, it appears the athletic talent isn’t just limited to basketball. http://byu.scout.com/2/945052.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/945052.html Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:57:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu One of the top 2011 prep running backs in the west visited Montlake the last weekend of January and came away impressed with what he saw.

Total Blue Sports caught up with Emery to talk about his defense, overcoming his shooting slump, and what makes UNLV a tough matchup for BYU. http://byu.scout.com/2/944447.html 2047 Matt Hodge http://byu.scout.com/2/944447.html Fri, 05 Feb 2010 23:10:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu The No. 12 BYU Cougars hit the road this Saturday to face the Running Rebels of UNLV. The Cougars survived a second-half charge by the Rebels in their first match this season, and will look to avoid any upset in what will be a rowdy Thomas and Mack Center. http://byu.scout.com/2/944211.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/944211.html Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:33:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu The Cougar hoopsters have had bad luck when it comes to health this year. Their health problems have ranged from inconvenient (Jimmer Fredette’s mono) to life-threatening (Coach Rose’s pancreatic cancer). Freshman center Brandon Davies recently had health problems of his own, having had to undergo an appendectomy. Fortunately, like Fredette and Rose, Davies appears to be healing nicely. http://byu.scout.com/2/944197.html 2047 Matt Hodge http://byu.scout.com/2/944197.html Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:49:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu The Sammamish (Wash.)

That doesn’t mean, however, that the Cougars’ up-tempo offense is always running on all cylinders. Nevertheless, it has become more efficient this season, and BYU is avoiding the shooting slumps that plagued it last season. http://byu.scout.com/2/944132.html 2047 Matt Hodge http://byu.scout.com/2/944132.html Thu, 04 Feb 2010 20:38:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Notre Dame didn't contact Kona Schwenke until late in the recruiting process, but that didn't mean that the defensive end from Kahuku High School (Hawaii) didn't already know a few things about the school. In fact he had a very good reference point at his high school in Brian Te'o. http://notredame.scout.com/2/944053.html 2047 Jeff Baumhower http://notredame.scout.com/2/944053.html Thu, 04 Feb 2010 16:17:00 GMT 1 109 Notre Dame notredame Notre Dame didn't recruit Kona Schwenke long, but they did enough to earn his signature on signing day.
