Early signing period starts today

[Guest HowieP1]

LATE TWIST: The men's basketball program expects to get letters of intent today from its three oral commitments, including Zaronn Cann of Brandon and McHugh Mattis of St. Petersburg College.

The Bulls' third commitment, point guard Chris Howard of Fort Washington, Md., is unexpectedly practically a local now. He'll begin classes Thursday at Florida Prep Academy, a tiny private school in Lake Suzy, east of Sarasota.

Howard, who won two state championships at Friendly High in Maryland, enrolled this fall at Notre Dame Prep in Fitchburg, Mass., but decided last week to leave school. His coach at Notre Dame, Bill Barton, said Tuesday that Howard was unhappy with the prospect of not being the team's starting point guard.

He won't be eligible to play at Florida Prep, so he'll spend this season practicing and trying to get academically qualified to meet NCAA requirements and attend USF next fall.

That should have been a BASKETBALL icon in the original post. Perhaps, Velcro can change it since I am signed on as a guest and can't edit.

Hoping we pick up that suprise recruit somewhere.  Can you say "Happy Meal".  A McStar would be nice.

Not too sure I care for that kind of attitude on the surface. Is there any more info on that situation?
