While Howard’s commitment to the Sun Devils was huge for the basketball program and the future of head coach Herb…

But after losing stud forward Carlos Johnson before the season to a transfer out of state, then losing star junior guard Michael Bibby Jr. to an injury early in the season, 6-foot-4 transfer senior guard Craig Randall would have to fill a major void for the Matadors. Randall would team up all season with talented junior guard JJ Rhymes to give Shadow a formidable duo. The two gifted college prospects…
