Howland Checks Out Future Warriors

From LAT's Varsity Times Insider:

Neither rain nor traffic nor the threat of a stormy night was going to prevent UCLA Coach Ben Howland from attending Tuesday night's scrimmage between Sylmar and L.A. Windward that featured two future Bruin players, 6-foot-8 Tyler Honeycutt of Sylmar and 6-10 Anthony Stover of Windward.

And what a show they delivered. Stover, looking much improved from his days at La Canada Renaissance, scored 25 points, had nine blocked shots and sent down five dunks. Honeycutt had 20 points, four blocked shots and four dunks. Both pulled down rebounds in double figures.

At one point, Stover had a dunk, Honeycutt responded with a dunk and Stover came back with another dunk. Windward won the game, 59-54, despite playing without Michigan-bound Darius Morris.

Howland said he attended to support the two players who signed with UCLA earlier this month. But he added, "I'm excited about both of them. Anthony is active and blocking shots. Tyler is skilled and very explosive. They're both long."

A "stormy night" in Southern California? Really? :-)

Anyway, going back the the post Coach Howland is not the only one. We can't wait to see these guys blend in with this year's class of freshmen warriors next year. Good times in Howlandwood.

GO BRUINS.

Length

is such a valuable asset. Our bread & butter is the Ben Ball D. With Bruin Stretch Armstrongs, it’ll be that much tougher for opposing teams to score as passing lanes and clear looks at the rim will be at a minimum.

How can you not be encouraged with what CBH is building?

Howland is ALWAYS in charge, even before these guys hit campus.
