Mark Miller predicts...

[Herman Cain]

Happy if we get him. Low expectations once he is here. Give him a year to make the transition.

Biggest takeaways:

- Markus said that his teammate, Skylar Mays is the best point guard in the nation & that he makes everyone better.

- talked at length about the LV Prospects & their outlook in the EYBL this spring

JayBee,

Is an Eddie House comparison fair?

I noticed 98 of his 167 shots are 3P attempts, leading Findlay Prep in scoring at 20 ppg so far this year. And is nearly 4th on the team in assists (49 total, 3 per game).

In the EYBL (2015) for LV Prospects: 111 of his 198 shots were 3P attempts, also leading them in scoring with 20 ppg. And he averaged 2 assists per game (3rd on team).

Any player comparisons that come to mind? By statistics alone, he sounds like a Rowsey type

I did make the prediction of Markus Howard to Marquette, but it may be wishful thinking on my part.

Still, the relationship Howard has with Stan Johnson and the effort MU is putting forth in an effort to get Howard are impressive.

Might I ask that you please stop making predictions based even one iota on "wishful thinking"? Such predictions are useless.

[MUfan12]

I'll be surprised if he ends up anywhere but ASU. Lots of advantages for the local school here.

Relax.  Like he said, Stan Johnson and Marquette are going after Howard hard.  Based on that, he thinks the efforts will pay off and Howard will end up at Marquette.

All predictions are useless.  He can make them for whatever reason he wants.

The coaching staff that recruited him there is gone.

The coaching staff that recruited him there is gone.

I'm aware.

[Loose Cannon]

- Saw 247 say Hurley & Wojo are recruiting him the hardest.

- His dad is an Indiana alum, who he will visit also

Thanks

+1.

Yes, I realize I sounded like a pud.

Never mind, Mark. Predict away!

[Big Daddy 84]

I am not predicting MH to MU or not predicting him to MU either, but I agree with MM that Wojo and Stan really want him.   Stan absolutely believes he is a game changer and would be a 3-4 year player.  MH is really looking to move to a 2016 and as long as he finds a place to in 2016 that he really wants he will reclassify.  I think it is 90% he commits this year to some program.  This may be hard to take but I think IU is the big competition.  With YF graduating this year, MH can be guaranteed the starting spot at the PG for TC.

Also BB is definitely an 2018 recruit.

[Dawson Rental]

Heck, Mark had to predict MU to keep pace, now there are five teams at 20%. (One vote each)

Obviously, it's still early with this one.

He's probably reclassifying so I would actually expect this decision to come in late February or early March and the LOI signed in spring

Understand, an LOI is unnecessary

Understand, an LOI is unnecessary

Why is that? Would he just go straight to submitting application to school?

Here's the part of the article about Howard:

By David Schoen
Las Vegas Review-Journal - 1/20/16

Markus Howard and O'Shae Brissett are each ranked as top boys basketball prospects in the class of 2017.

For now.

Findlay Prep coach Andy Johnson confirmed this week that Howard, the Pilots' leading scorer, and Brissett are considering reclassifying to the class of 2016 to get a jump-start on their college careers.

"At the end of the year, that will be up to them and their families to decide that," Johnson said. "They're both terrific students, and they put themselves in a position to have an option to be able to do that. We'll always support whatever they want to do."

Howard, a 5-foot-11-inch point guard, is averaging 19.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 1.6 steals and is ranked the No. 31 player in the class of 2017 by Rivals.com. He was 9-for-9 from the field, including six 3-pointers, and scored 26 points in Findlay Prep's 91-67 win over St. Benedict's Prep (N.J.) on Sunday in the Hoophall Classic at Springfield, Mass.

Howard, who is originally from Arizona, decommitted from Arizona State in March. The four-star prospect made an official visit to Arizona State this month and told the Arizona Republic he plans to visit Baylor, Central Arkansas (his brother, Jordan, is a sophomore guard for the Bears), Indiana and Marquette.

True, but most do it anyways.
