Mustangs pick up in-state WR
A trip out of the state actually helped make Mansfield (Texas) Summit wide receiver Bradley Haynes decision easier for a local school.
The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder had it down to two schools as of last week. After visiting SMU two weeks ago, he and his family went up to check out Indiana this past weekend. On the way home, Haynes had his decision made and called up the coaches of the school closest to home.

"My family and I decided that SMU was the best place for me, so I committed there today," Haynes said. "It hit me on the ride home. Indiana was a great school with a nice campus, but I felt like in my heart SMU was the place for me to go.
"I really enjoyed being around the players and they seemed like they had their head on straight. They know why they came to SMU too – they want to win."
Haynes says that it wasn't just athletics that led him to the Mustangs.
"It's a good academic school and the coaches are great," Haynes said. "I also think I'll get the chance to play early there."
This will be the final choice for Haynes. He has no plans of looking around.
"I've enjoyed the recruiting process, even though it was hectic at times," Haynes said. "But, this is pretty much it for me. I don't think I'm going to look anywhere else."
Haynes was recruited by coach Jim Gush.
