Brigham Young University's basketball program has received another oral commitment from a high school senior who says he will sign with the Cougars on Wednesday when the early signing period for basketball begins.

Anson Winder, a 6-foot-3-inch-tall combo guard from Bishop Gorman High in Las Vegas committed to BYU coach Dave Rose on Wednesday night, according to his high school coach, Grant Rice.

"He will be a great fit for BYU," said Rice, brother of BYU assistant Dave Rice. "He's just an all-around great kid, a great student and a complete basketball player. BYU's up-tempo style will fit his game."

Winder also had offers from Idaho and Nevada, according to Rice. He averaged 11.1 points and 7.7 rebounds for a team that went 28-5 last year and won the Nevada Class 4A state title.

The Cougars also have a commitment from Provo High's Kyle Collinsworth, considered the top senior basketball player in the state of Utah.

Winder played for the Triple-Double Elite team in the summer basketball circuit last July, and scored 40 points in one game and 36 in another. The Cougars have shown some interest in one of Winder's teammates, point guard Johnathan Loyd, who is the brother of current BYU guard Michael Loyd.

However, Rice said that Johnathan Loyd, who also excels at football, will wait until this spring to make his college decision.
