Hawes picks Washington
The Seattle Times reports that the #1 center in the 2007 class, Spencer Hawes, committed to the University of Washington over UNC yesterday. Hawes is from Seattle so there was plenty of pressure for him to stay local. It was a tradeoff: stay close to home or play for the best program in the country. He chose the former. Hawes is 6'11'' and had UNC a close second. Dang it!
