Weber State recruit picks Bradley U.
Bradley basketball received an oral commitment Monday from Sean Harris, a 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward from Yuba College with three years of eligibility remaining.
Harris, who averaged 14.9 points and 11.7 rebounds for 32-4 Yuba as a freshman, will not join the Braves until the 2010-11 season because he will be leaving soon for a two-year Mormon mission.
He chose Bradley over offers from California-Santa Barbara, Weber State, Pacific, Wyoming and Fresno State.
"You guys are going to love Sean," said Yuba coach Doug Cornelius. "He plays (all) out all the time."

Wil Carter 6'9" post on second year on mission.
Wil Carter @ Salt Lake Community College......
Despite receiving heavy attention from several Big Sky programs, Wil Carter did not play college basketball at the Division I level next season.
Instead of signing a national letter of intent with one of his many DI suitors, Idaho State, Weber State, Montana and Utah Valley State. the one-time Highland standout will be suiting up at Salt Lake Community College.
Those schools wanted me bad, Carter said. I guess I broke a few hearts.
The 6-foot-9 Carter admitted it wasn't the easiest decision to make but said playing time was the reason he ultimately committed to the JUCO school.
SLCC were offering me a full ride from the beginning, but they already had a guy at my position, Carter said. but a few weeks later their coach (Norm Parrish) called and told me that guy left and I would get 35 minutes a game if I came. That sounded pretty good to me.
Carter said he was excited about the decision, on top of the opportunity for serious PT, because Salt Lake Community College plays in a good JUCO conference and everything he’s heard indicates SLCC will be a competitive team next season.
Still, he said he was only committing to SLCC for a year. After that, he will go on a LDS Mission for two years and hopefully join a bigger program at that point.
In Oct. he can sign a LOI, and go anywhere,..
