CAN FRANKLIN HOWARD PAUL VI. PLAY POINT GUARD IN COLLEGE ?

CAN 

 FRANKLIN HOWARD

PAUL VI. 

PLAY POINT GUARD

IN

COLLEGE?

PAUL VI. HS.

FAIRFAX VA.

 

Howard, a 6-foot-4 guard who plays for Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, Va., includes Syracuse among his final suitors.

Howard, a four-star prospect according to various recruiting services, tore his ACL during the summer league circuit last season and is easing his way back onto the basketball court. He has been described as a shooting guard and a point guard. His AAU coach, Keith Stevens, said Howard's passing skills, combined with the volume of guards in the Team Takeover program, made Howard primarily a point guard.

"He's definitely a point guard," Stevens said. "He's a very good passer. He has a very good feel for the game, he's athletic and he makes shots."

Stevens said Howard "is close" to returning to 100 percent physically after rehabbing from the ACL tear. He missed his entire junior season at Paul VI.

"We're not going to rush him back," Stevens said. "It's a slow process."

 

ALL-MET ELITE - Just a thought to consider - prep after Paul VI. - prior to college freshman year, will definitely makeup for lost time since missing junior year. Additional time to improve skill wise, continue to rehab, develop physically, and learn, play new position.
