PDT Scouting and Trilly both doubt the french guy from Dayton will transfer cause Dayton will pay money to keep him. Did agree on the jay huff comparison when i brought up him liking jay huff posts on instagram. Still hope we try to tamper there. Especially if Grant retires
Cooper Schweigar has my interest.
A good read on the howard kid

Found the stuff about what Howard is doing to make it appealing for him to stay very interesting. It’s one part age-old “you’re the big man on campus here and just a guy elsewhere” pitch:
In games, he’s given almost unlimited freedom to go make plays, playing with the ball in his hands regularly despite not being the team’s true point guard. He gets to operate in ball screens, out of post-ups and in isolation instead of being relegated to an off-ball shooting role like might happen elsewhere. He also gets to play through mistakes, having played at least 35 minutes in more than half of Howard’s games this season. Not bad for a player who’s still only months removed from not being able to pass a conditioning test.
Even if a high-major school can offer a big payday in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to play next year, the fear of getting pushed back into role-player status and stunting Harper’s development lingers.
One part trying to keep the NBA angle open:
Plus, Howard is doing everything it can to put Harper on NBA radars. NBA scouts have seen Harper in practices and games. At a game in early February, Washington Wizards general manager Will Dawkins was there watching with his son, who had attended Howard camps that summer. An NBA minority team owner has even stopped by practice. When there are heavily scouted college games upcoming in the D.C. area, chief program strategist Daniel Marks (a former Milwaukee Bucks front office member) blasts out emails to all his NBA contacts encouraging them to swing by Howard, too. That convinced four NBA teams to swing by a Howard game after a UConn vs. Georgetown matchup, and Harper had 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists that afternoon in a win over Morgan State.
And then some newer age brand-building exercises:
One way is setting up Harper with advocacy work in D.C. surrounding breast cancer awareness after his mother died from the disease in 2023. He recently appeared on the Hope Ignited podcast run by the National Breast Cancer Foundation. He has met with the Black Chamber of Commerce and has an NIL deal with a mental health app called Inner Journey, which allowed him to host a free yoga session and mental health panel with Howard students.
