Is it fair to say its him or Isaiah? No way we can take both, right?

IMO, it's one or the other. They have a very similar game.

Wonder if Howard would give Betsy pause at all. Want both and clearly they can play together.

Hard to know what's going on in their heads--they're kids after all. But to my eye, Howard/Abraham are 3s and Betsey will play the skilled 4 like Karaban has.

 

[TheHorde]

It’s an interesting dynamic because there’s an element of the kids wanting to test the open market with offers and visits, but if they really like and prefer UConn, they also know they can’t wait too long to commit.

Howard wow special look!

 

[Tomahawk]

I wonder if Castle is playing any part in the recruitment, Howard is originally from Norcross which is about an hour from Covington.

Jeremy Lamb was from Norcross as well.

Howard has some hops.. Vertical has to be close to Andre J

 

[Mooch82]

We confirm he’s visiting this week?

 

[Umami Zen]

Did not know Howard was a Boston native.. Gotta help.. Hope OV happens and goes well for the next few days..

"Hailing from the east coast, Howard has spent most of his youth bouncing from Boston to Atlanta and back."

Sounds like his dad may be in Boston. He lived in Boston from 10-13 but has been in Atlanta since. So I'm not sure if the northeast connection will be a big factor here.

In one of his pictures online.. Has a "617" tattoo prominently displayed on right bicep.. A shout out to Boston.. No question he's been spending time in Atlanta.. Saw the same article referred to in your quote.. Would look great in Storrs.

 

[NJHoops]

He‘s playing with the Lightning now, but he still has northeast/Massachusetts basketball connections with some Expressions Elite people.

Sounds like he’s there today.

Crazy athleticism from this dude...would be fun.

He appears to have Andre Jackson athleticism. (Hairs on the back of my head starting to stand).

 

[HuskyHawk]

Wow, length, crazy hops and skills. Lock him up today.

 

[seeya27]

I have seen it written that he is a "project". Well in that vein, Jordan Hawkins & Andre Jackson were projects. Sanogo too.

I'll take that kind of a project any day of the week.

I don't think anyone considered Sanogo, Jackson or Hawkins projects in the traditional sense. They all had ready-made high-major skillsets. Some great skill development helped wi. The natty, but they were clearly highly skilled players coming out of hs. Someone like Singare is a project.

Howard isn't a project either.

I remember reading somewhere on here that he can shoot a little too. Would be a nice piece to add for sure

Definitely don't remember Sanogo being considered a "project".

I agree. Just saw the term "project" written about him and thought, "yeah, I'll take that project, thank you."

I’ll keep wearing my UConn jersey around Atlantic Station. Maybe he’ll take it as a sign.

 

[NJHoops]

The recruiting game really is so ridiculous and exhausting.
