Here's the part relating to Howard:

Three-year-old Florida Prep in Lake Suzy, Fla., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year but remains afloat, thanks in part to seed money from Adidas believed to be worth $75,000 annually. After adding a post-grad team this year, Florida Prep tried to hire Babacar Sy, a junior college assistant from College of Southern Idaho, but that fell through. Florida Prep principal Steve Rodriguez, a former assistant coach in the Miami Tropics AAU program, says his school "caters to kids that have ADD or ADHD. That's kind of our thing, and we've just got a knack for getting kids qualified." Kids like South Florida freshman guard Chris Howard, who attended multiple high schools but didn't play last season at Florida Prep -- he just went there to get eligible.

In a follow-up to the above, http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/8930536 apparently coach Sy has quit Florida Prep and is taking his players with him to some other prep school.

I wonder if we can get a 2 for1 with the Tropics?
