Heytvelt spurns UW, others for Gonzaga
Josh Heytvelt, whose recruitment by Washington assistant Cameron Dollar got the Huskies in trouble with the NCAA, has made an oral commitment to play basketball for Gonzaga in 2004.
The 6-foot-9 forward, who will be a senior this fall at Clarkston High School, also received offers from Kansas, Arizona, Oregon, Washington State and Washington. Heytvelt averaged 20.1 points per game last season.
