Now at Montverde (Fla) Academy, class of 2016 point guard Howard Washington continues to add offers and gain more interest. At 6-foot-2 with a tremendous feel for the game, it is no surprise that numerous schools are continuing to show Washington significant interest. “I am just taking it right now and enjoying the process,” said Washington. “Right now I would say the schools that have the most interest in me are Ohio State, Wake Forest, Syracuse, LSU, George Washington, Georgia Tech, Illinois, Miami, and a few others.”

With his recruitment heating up, Amir Ealey, one of Maryland’s top prospects, has kept close contact with Maryland — and it’s been paying off. “Everyone is pretty even right now, but Maryland is in good shape.” Ealey will take an official to Syracuse, Pitt and UCF, though he’s currently unsure of the exact dates. One date he is sure of is his official to Maryland, as he will visit College Park on December 10. “After my officials are over, I’ll have my decision.”

Senior Isaiah Ross led Leavenworth with a first-team award as a wide receiver and a defensive back. Ross finished the season with 441 yards and five touchdowns receiving, as well as 534 yards and six touchdowns rushing.

Even in the early days of training camp last month, C.J. Fair seemed to have a mastery of the Mad Ants’ offense that some of his teammates lacked. And Fair was just a rookie. “He’s actually ahead of most of us here, and we have to catch up to him,” Fort Wayne coach Conner Henry said. Fair, 23, a 6-foot-8, 215-pound forward from Syracuse, was in training camp this year with the Indiana Pacers after not being drafted. That gave him some time with Henry, who assisted Pacers coach Frank Vogel during the NBA team’s camp.
