Here are some highlights from the show:
The Juice Online: 2015 guard Franklin Howard is set to announce on April 14. What can you tell us about him?
Adam Zagoria: He’s a 6-4 shooting guard who missed this season with an ACL injury. I talked to the coach over there, Glen Farello, who said that obviously it would’ve helped him a lot to play this year, but he’s a highly regarded shooting guard. Paul VI is a well respected program out of Fairfax, Virginia. They say he’s going to be fully recovered from the injury. He’s a high IQ guy. Very competitive. Knows how to win, and kind of a combo guard. I don’t know which way he’s leaning, but he’s considering Maryland, Georgetown, Ohio State, Virginia, N.C. State as well as the Cuse.
TJO: Is Tyler Ennis definitely going to the NBA draft? And what did you think of Jim Boeheim’s comments about him on SportsCenter?
AZ: I did speak with Tyler’s father earlier today, Tony McIntyre, and he has not hired an agent yet. I still think he’s going to come out. He’s projected as a top 10, 12, 14 pick. As to what Boeheim said, Jim, he’s a Hall of Fame coach and he’s entitled to his opinion. He’s probably right that Tyler could use another year to get stronger and more physically ready. That said, I don’t think Jim comes off in the best light there, he comes off as he’s got a little sour grapes that Tyler’s leaving. He probably wanted him to stay and play the point for him next year, but it’s a tough situation when the money’s out there and you’re a guaranteed lottery pick. Who of us would turn that down?
