BYU added another piece to the 2017 team with the commitment of Florida JUCO point guard Jahshire Hardnett. Hardnett announced his commitment via his twitter account:
Hardnett committed to BYU after taking an official visit to Provo. Hardnett is from Chipola College in Florida. He played high school ball in Gulfport, Mississippi.
Hardnett has a unique recruiting story. An ESPN 3-star recruit out of high school, Hardnett had offers from UConn, Clemson, Ole Miss, Penn State, among many others. He ultimately committed to Fordham, a Division 1 school, after some of the recruiting buzz wore off his senior year with eligibility issues.
