BIOGRAPHYFrancis grew up in Takoma Park, Maryland with little money and no father. When his mother died of brain cancer in 1995, his grandmother raised him. He stopped playing basketball for 2 years after his mother's death.
He attended San Jacinto College in 1997 and Allegany College of Maryland in 1998. Francis became the first player to take two unbeaten teams into the National Junior College Tournament.
Francis transferred to the University of Maryland in 1998 for his junior season. The addition of Francis helped propel the Terrapins to a #5 preseason ranking. Francis made an instant impact as Maryland's starting shooting guard, scoring 17 points in the season opener against Western Carolina. Francis and the Terps gained national attention with impressive showings in the Puerto Rico Shootout and a 62-60 win over #5 Stanford in the BB&T Classic. The Terps climbed to a #2 national ranking by early December.
