Greg Howard is a 6-5 swing man from Burlington Township High School in Burlington, N.J. His high school team played in the semifinals of the State Public High School Tournament in New Jersey. He averaged 16 points per game and 12 rebounds per game in high school. He played either forward or guard in high school and can do the same for Belmont Abbey College. “He is a solid team player,” said Hussey of the prospect. “We feel that he will blend in very well with the style of play we have here. He’s an out standing athlete. He made all state in football. He has a very good court disposition.” Reggie Holmes, will transfer from Mt. Olive Junior College in Mt. Olive, N.C. Holmes is a 6-8, 208 pound center. He is an excellent leaper and has a standing reach of 9 feet 8 inches. He helped guide his team to the Region 10 Junior College Playoffs. “Reggie is a very versatile player that can get much better as his career progresses,” said Hussey. “He only played one year of high school ball. He made the Ail Region 10 Team last year. He, too, is a good team player and will blend in well to our type of game.” John Picinich is a 6-6, 190 pound graduate of Bergen Catholic High School in Oradell, N.J. His average of 12 points and 16 rebounds per game helped lead his team to state championship competition after winning the highest division in Catholic competition in the state.
