2017 Point Guard Howard Washington Commits to Syracuse

By ADAM ZAGORIA & DENNIS CHAMBERS

CIA Bounce point guard Howard Washington is headed to Syracuse.

Head coach Jim Boeheim made a scholarship offer on Saturday to the Class of 2017 Athlete Institute point guard.

“I grew up loving ‘Cuse and I love the ‘Cuse coaching staff,” Washington told ZAGSBLOG. “And I feel that ‘Cuse fits my style of play and feel as though I can make an impact right. I’m a point guard who can score from three and get to the rim and will lead a team and will do whatever it takes to win.”

Washington is a teammate of incoming Syracuse forward Oshae Brissett.

“Howard’s dream school has always been Syracuse,” CIA Bounce head coach Tony McIntyre said. “He grew up in Buffalo watching the Orange and will now join them for 2017. He fits in the mold of what ‘Cuse runs and will be able to fit in easily.”
