A better person.""Rodney was a kid that cared about people. That loved people. That wanted to be happy all the time.
He was just as influential with how he played basketball. He eventually went on to play for Ohio University. "His aggressiveness, he never took plays off. He always went hard on the court. I'm a stickler for guys going hard on the court, and Rodney was one of those guys," Howard said."It's a tough situation for everybody, not just them but the community. He had a lot of great friends," he said.
