Zaide, no Willard nickname, he isn't official yet.

At the risk of outing myself as an old f#ck, who is that supposed to be on Ben's shirt?

I did not recognize the image, either.  I am going to speculate that is supposed to be a Guardian.

Sure looks that way. When MU changes it nickname to The Guardians from GEs that would be a slick mascot!  ;)

Ben Gold's message to Marquette fans:

"It's gonna be a lotta fun. We believe that we can go the whole way, and we know that we have all the support from the fans ... "

Obviously, he doesn't read Scoop. Thank goodness.

He was asked about criticisms and brushed right by it.

Such a mature kid........doubt many of us could have answered those questions in such a calm....level headed way when we were that age.

Ps in Shaka's presser he said that Cam Brown would be a graduate assistant next season.

Great.  To be fair, it feels like he is almost doing that now.

83% sure these Guardians in Cleveland were modeled off of Ben Gold.

I had mentioned before that I met his parents at the Maryland game, as they were seated nearby. They were so proud of him and they told me that Michael Lovell talked to them on campus.

I was really hoping that Cam would score at the end of the Georgetown game. It's so easy to immediately sense a connection with a player's family during a brief chat, even though I knew I would never see them again. His father was very quiet, as was his mother, but she especially seemed very pleased that I spoke to and listened to them. Instant blue and gold connection.
