Howell is the best player on one of the best teams in the country. Wait to see how many teams offer him after the AAU season and when he gets his back problems taken care of.
And we ARE recruiting Riley, like it or not.

Thank you!
Nick lives and dies based on the rankings. I do not. I want ballers and not all ballers are highly ranked. eg. Draymond Green is a baller yet he isnt highly ranked. I feel the same way about Richard Howell. Not so much about Riley though. I'd rather Izzo looked elsewhere to fill a frontcourt position.
I want guys who are productive and intelligent. I don't need NBA prototypes. Howell and Green and Roe and Sherman are all productive high IQ'd ballers. Riley just isn't productive. He's all upside and the team just needs more sure things at the moment, especially from the 2009 class with regards to big men. They have to be ready to play from the moment they step into Breslin.
