The more I look at the guard situation the more I think that JB has gone all in with Frank Howard, AND feels really really comfortable in that decision.  In looking at the tea leaves:
[LIST]
[*]We lost out on Quade a while back and we had a long break (didn't even try and get involved with anyone else) and instead signed Howard Washington who is perceived to be a roll player project type and not a top 100 level player, someone who would back up FH not challenge his starting job
[*] Numerous high level PG became available after decommiting from their schools and we decided not to get involved with any of them in any serious manner.  Instead were happy with the back up PG prospect.
[*] We are recruiting Ayala who is a Combo guard, again no threat to take FH's starting position and only spell him when absolutely necessary, and when Battle doesn't need a break.  
[/LIST]
So I guess what it comes down to is how much do you trust JB and his evaluations of the guard position.  On the positive side he's been doing this a while (understatement) so you would hope he knows what FH has to offer. But on the negative side we have huge risks if an injury at the 1 or 2 position occur and we lost out on a number of recruits during this cycle so maybe he just isn't getting the talent he is use to having.  Im not a huge JB supporter, but I trust his judgment in this area and on FH and what he can do at the point as far as production is concerned. Im hoping this is a classic case of "buy low sell high" and focus on the 2018 pg class.
