Howard is one lucky young man. Brad Pike deserves some credit too. Howard might be the sleeper guard for next year. He has a high basketballI IQ.

An amazing story. I’ll be rooting for him both on and off the court.

The way he involves himself during a game seems special to me. He appears to be well-liked and helpful. Both are traits that will keep him well.

That young man is a warrior to have persevered and believed in himself through all those medical issues not with just the physical but the mental aspect of battling back.
