Okay, can somebody help clarify when MH will actually be visiting? There was a report on Jan.1 he will be visiting weekend of Feb 26, which would consist of the Villanova home game.

But since (Jan 16), Jerry Meyer of 247 has said MH will visit MU on the 20th (MU @ DePaul that day) & then visit Indiana (plays Purdue that evening at home) the same weekend on the 20th & 21st.

Really hope the the 20th isn't the date

KampusFoods · « **Reply #1 on:** February 01, 2016, 12:03:04 PM »

Seems odd that he would visit the weekend of a road game. Seems more likely the staff would want their top target at Natty MU day with likely the biggest crowd of the season. Obviously depends on MH's schedule but I really hope it's the 26th-28th that he visits.

I completely agree. I looked up MH schedule & looks like he has a game on the 25th & 26th, so that might not be the best weekend for him:

If he really does visit on the 20th, maybe we can have a Scoop delegation show him around.

He'll spend the whole pre-game with the team. Go to the game, go to the Al, etc.

Depending on which year he is classified for, this visit could be official or unofficial. My guess is given the schedule he has outlined it is unofficial. It appears that this is his second visit to Indiana and his father attended school there.

KampusFoods · « **Reply #7 on:** February 01, 2016, 01:05:30 PM »

I have no knowledge of what a recruiting visit typically entails on a game day, in particular NMUDay. He could make it in plenty of time for tip off with an early morning flight on Saturday.

Then plenty of time after the game for the team/coaches to show him around the Al/campus/Renee Row/Murphy's/Real Chili in that order.

GGGG · « **Reply #8 on:** February 01, 2016, 01:05:54 PM »

It looks like he doesn't have a game between Tuesday the 16th and Thursday the 25th.

My guess is that he will come in Thursday night and hang with the team until they have to leave on Friday. (I believe they have to be in Chicago 24 hours prior to game time.) He will then have the rest of the day to visit the campus, probably with Stan Johnson who wouldn't be required to be down to Chicago until later, and will leave Saturday for Indiana.

Agreed, can make it work. Just unfortunated he would be pretty drained for the visit.

Game on Thursday & Friday night with 10 pm starts (12 am central time). Which will finish around 2 am MKE time. Then quickly fly out to MKE in the am to make it for the MU day festivities game. If memory serves right, 4 hours in the air from Vegas / Milwaukee (without lay over).

Both scenarios aren't ideal, but having him visit is a victory in itself

I don't think you can take an official visit off campus. That's why unofficial makes more sense.

Really? Come on. Maybe if his dad were the coach (a la Ray McCallum Jr. at Detroit Mercy), but no way you flush that talent down the drain at Central Arkansas. Howard's #34 in the country--he has NBA aspirations so he needs a high-level coaching staff and all the trappings of a quality facility to help him get there.

EDIT: not to mention high-level competition.

Just my opinion

He would get to play with his brother (20 ppg this year) for 2 years & is taking official there in March. Dad said it would be really nice if they played together.

His brother is actually really good. The issue is that he's another short combo guard. Markus is great, and I'd love him to come here, but we don't have room for two more players like that.

"After dropping 25 points in a 14-point victory over Athlete Institute on Saturday, Howard connected on all nine of his field goal attempts, including 6-for-6 from three-point range, to score 26 points in a 91–67 decision against St. Benedict’s (N.J.) Prep on Sunday. “Today was just a day I was feeling it,” said Howard, who averaged 20.2 points per game"

It's not that you can't start two short guards, but then we'd have both Howards, Carter, Rowsey, and Wilson in the 5'11-6'1 range. 5 out of 13 scholarships used on guys under 6'1?

And then you don't have a scholarship for a PF unless you're expecting a transfer out.
