Don't the players take summer course work to reduce their academic load especially during the second semester when traveling, practice and games are at their peak. I know Howard is a good student. Just asking.

Very thoughtful and mature reply by Markus.   What a great rep for our program.

I would expect he'll take at least 3 credits in session 2 (starts early July).
