I think that given Howards increase play during the NCAA, he showed he was reaching the point where he'll be ready to run the team in the up coming season.   Plus ther is a 5th  year guy there to help him and provide leadership.

"This is more the tone JB needs to strike with the early exits. He probably needs to be even more supportive in public. It must be so easy to recruit against him claiming that he will try to hold you back and will talk smack about you if you declare and try to hurt your draft stock."

I don't think that anybody has said that JB has tried to hold back a player from entering the draft.  And the smack has been "player would benefit from another year in college."  There are a lot more things a coach could say to a recruit that would be worse.  Like he's old or he's only going to be there another year or two.  Let's face it, JB's recruiting time is so short now with his impending retirement that there aren't many kids left for him to recruit!
