I know for a fact that after seeing Ben play the past week, there were atleast two D1 programs who questioned how committed Ben was to Bellarmine and wanted to offer until they realized he had already signed.

I think this was a legitimate question to begin with and with a real question. The team is more than one person! Yes, obviously Ben is a HUGE part of the team , meant in everyway. But when you have Hall, Moeves, the Anderson twins, Pengallo you have a lot of excellent defense and offense players. So, yes we need all of our Breds healthy. They are on fire right now, Ben is having a fantastic tourney. No one expected us to get this far, except for the fan base. It is sad that people have to tear apart a 17 yr old kid. Everyone can have a diff opinion, but it won't bother Ben, prob will only motivate him, but as a Momma I can tell you, I would be furious if some of those comments were made about my daughters.

So let's all be adults and think about the families. Kids do a better job! I have seen SO many positive posts, tweets, etc for Ben and this team from players they knocked out of the tourney. So let's be like them!

AMEN - these boys are a team!! Takes the whole team to win - even players that don't see the floor as much contribute in many different ways!!! Go Breds!!!

I think we are a good ending point.
