In response to Jeff2sf
Matt Howard was a nice player, but let's get real. He never had a positive assist/turnover ratio, he was a mediocre foul shooter, an average rebounder and an OK 3 point shooter his senior year after being horrible prior to that year. He had trouble guarding quick guards and wasn't big enough to guard bigger forwards. He was a good spot up 2 point shooter in an era where that is not that great a stat, especially when he didn't shoot FTs well. He was the best player on a bad team (really AJ was his last year, but Howard was very good that year). We more than replaced him this year. He deserves respect for playing out 4 years under the circumstances and playing hard. Betley, barring injury, will far surpass his numbers over his career.
Now this is not to put down Howard, but Jeff's view is not realistic. We will replace Foreman in much the same way we replaced Howard.
