Augusta, SC (Future150) -- Heading into the live period, 2014 Irmo (SC) forward Javis Howard was worried about his offers. With only a handful of offers and interest, his future was uncertain.
Fast-forward two months on the AAU circuit with the Upward Stars and the 6-foot-8 athlete is reeling in offers by the day, as he now is approaching twenty offers.
The two latest offers are from Furman and UT-Chattanooga, both who offered last Wednesday evening.
Even though it is becoming an everyday thing for Howard to add new offers, he still finds it a little surreal.
"It feels amazing [to have all these offers]," he told Future150.com. "It has given me a lot of confidence knowing that so many coaches believe I can play at the next level."
Radford, High Point, Jacksonville, Southern Miss, Winthrop, Old Dominion, Northeastern, Middle Tennessee State, Georgia Southern, Appalachian State, and others have also offered the skilled big man.
While he claims no leaders, Howard has an idea of what schools he would like to visit in the fall.
"I would like to see Wichita State, Murray State, UT-Chattanooga, Georgia Southern, and Appalachian State."
Wichita State and Murray State, two of the more prominent mid-major programs, have yet to offer Howard; however, that will probably will change in July.
Expect Howard to continue to climb up the offer ladder, and, before long, we could see some high-majors coming in.
Howard is ranked No. 142 in the 2014 Future150 rankings.
