BYU and Utah are both still in the running for an elite four-star basketball prospect in the 2023 recruiting class.

Keanu Dawes named both schools — along with Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Rice — as programs still in contention for his services in a social media post Wednesday.

Dawes is a 6-foot-8 forward from Houston, Texas, rated just outside the top 100 (No. 103) in 247 Sports’ composite national rankings.
