Brian Mitchell is painful to watch thank god Howard committed since my ears are still bleeding. Great guy to meet in person (Art Monk camp 1998 and Okras in Manassas) terrible announcer.

They started out wishing Howard a happy birthday.
Listed out his prospective schools [some good ones, including Ohio State, UVa, Georgetown, had an offer from Florida, etc.]
Howard feels blessed to have all of these schools as opportunities. Grateful to have gotten to know these coaches throughout the recruiting process.
Tore his ACL during junior year. Says the injury was bittersweet, because his team won a championship, but he's happy for his teammates and tried to keep a good attitude and learn from the experience.
He says the school he's choosing has a family environment, strong fanbase, and somewhere he'd want to be for four years [GREAT NEWS, after all of the early entrant attrition we've had the last few years]. He's disappointed to have to let coaches from the other four schools in his top 5 know that he's turning them down, but he can only pick one.
After a lot of discussion with his family, he's made the decision to attend... SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY!!!!
Jim Boeheim is a historical coach, and a top 5 program all time. He's excited to play for a legend.
Howard believes he fits into a zone defensive system, and likes zone a lot better than man-to-man.
Announcer mentioned that he's 6-5 now, but is projected to grow as tall as 6-8.
He's from ACC country, excited to play in the ACC--he considers them the #1 conference, and is excited to be able to have the opportunity to compete against players he grew up playing against.
In response to the obligatory joke about winters in CNY, Howard says he plans on going winter shopping before he gets up here.

Francis has been on this as well and said we were in the drivers seat for a while now.

My pleasure--figured a lot of people might not be able to watch it, given the network that was carrying the announcement.
I've seen a few of his games from his soph year before he got hurt and I really think he's going to be a great piece to our program. He has great size and is very skilled. Whether it's a floater, pull up jumper, catch and shoot he's a flat out shot maker which as we've found out you can never have enough of.

RT @EvanDaniels: Syracuse now has three top 100 recruits in the 2015 class. That is more than anyone else thus far.

Everything published about this kid describes him as playing PG at the collegiate level, so it shouldn't impact Battle at all.
