Interesting side note: he is Mormon and plans on making a mission trip in June of 2014.

Which would last until 2016 correct?

I plead ignorance as to the duration.

Which would last until 2016 correct?

Typically it's 24 months but it's also possible to be 'called' to a shorter length of sevice.

My question is, why hasn't he committed to BYU yet? Seems like that is where he would fit best.

Off subject, but I've heard Mormon chicks at BYU are rather legit. Wonder if they offer in-state tuition for GI Bill?? haha

I see Dastrup has OSU in his final 7, and plans an official visit to OSU but has not scheduled it yet. Again, I think he is a long shot for OSU.

Seven remain for Payton Dastrup (@PDastrup). Only scheduled visit is to Kansas ... http://scouthoops.scout.com/2/1314669.html

BYU is by far the most suited to Dastrup from a religion standpoint, gotta wonder what would happen if he went to another school. Would he play on Sundays anyway, or would the other guys just have to pick up the slack when he can't play on Sundays? Or would any of these other (aside from BYU) big time programs would refuse to schedule games on Sundays for religious reasons of one player?

i really can't see Payton ending up here.

Also on campus for an official visit is 6-9 forward-center Payton Dastrup of Mesa, Ariz. But while he is a high-school senior, Dastrup has said he does not plan to enter college until 2016, after serving a two-year Mormon mission.

OSU has apparently made Payton's final 3, which also includes BYU (presumed favorite) and Virginia. Payton had a lot of nice things to say about his OSU visit.

Dastrup will reportedly be announcing his college decision this upcoming Friday. Apparently Florida has joined BYU, OSU and UVA as a finalist.
