Hauns Brereton, a sophomore at Western Nebraska Community College, has received a scholarship offer to play basketball for BYU. Brereton, a 6-foot-7 guard/forward, received the offer after taking an official visit to BYU this past weekend, according to his coach, Russell Beck, a Utah native. Brereton averaged 20 points and seven rebounds a game last season for WNCC, a national power in the junior college ranks. He shot 39 percent from 3-point rainge and 79 percent from the free-throw line. Beck reports that Brereton averaged 27 points per game over the last 17 games of his sophomore season. Brereton has more than 22 Division I scholarship offers. He has also visited Hawaii and Tulane. Utah and Santa Clara have offered official visits, while Memphis, Nebraska, Texas Tech and Ole Miss have expressed interest. Brereton is orginally from Memphis, Tenn. He played his freshman season for Northern Colorado after serving an LDS Church mission in Taiwan. At UNC he averaged just 2.1 ppg while getting just 6.8 minutes per game.
