Fabyon Harris Will Attend Howard In Springs, Texas

Posted by CoHoops DeAnte Mitchell

5-foot-9 guard Fabyon Harris was the granted his release from the University of Houston earlier this week. It was reported that he left for family and personal reasons.

His High School coach said that Fabyon may be homesick. The hardships he has faced when he loss key family member, has not been overcome.

Either way, the 5-foot-9 guard, told me today (August 18, 2010) where he was headed via facebook.

He was assumed to be headed back to his hometown to play for the DePaul Blue Demons.

However, he threw everyone a curve ball "I'm going in Big Springs, Texas," Harris said. "It's a good school for, it is just a good fit."

The Howard College Hawks won the National Championship last year on the Junior College circuit. They have produced NCAA Division-1 athletes and could do the same with their talented class this year.
