Musician or 'baller?

Finally!   All of that Marquette Gold swag will come in handy!


Great news.   Welcome, young man.

[SaveOD238]

Excellent news!  He seemed to be enjoying himself during the game when he visited.  Adds some much needed size to future classes

[We R Final Four]

Welcome Ben!

[BCHoopster]

Hope he is not as skinny as Oso? Somebody said he is like Chet Holmgren,   That is skinny?

I'd be pretty happy if he's like Chet Holmgren.

[CountryRoads]

Fantastic. I watched a few videos of him and I'm really impressed with his speed and coordination. It looks like he can shoot from the outside. Hope he can rebound and defend.

No idea on the level of competition in the video, but liked what I saw. I'm sure some will see some Novak comp's, I really liked his awareness, especially without the ball.

[leever]

Looks like he can shoot.  Can he average over .5 rebounds per game?

Looks a bit like Steve Novak.  I'm intrigued.

Welcome Ben!

[Newsdreams]

Welcome to the MU family Mr. Gold

[BCHoopster]

Looks like he could take Justin's spot, more of a wing, good coordination, can go left and right. Needs Todd Smith to give him 20 lbs. to fight Big East bigs.

Ha! I swear I was typing my Novak comp at the same time you were.

[Billy Hoyle]

He lists himself at 6-10, 212.  https://www.prospectiveinsight.com/post/ben-gold

The level of competition is not great in his own words, but that's what bringing him over for summer 1 is for. Intriguing prospect.

PI: How would you describe the basketball culture in New Zealand?


BG: They all get around you type of thing so they're all congratulatory, but the competition isn't the greatest. (Laughs) I'm probably the tallest person in the basketball community back home, so it's got good competition, but once you get older you want to go somewhere else to play so that you know you're going to get better and improve.

So, a project.   A 6'10, sweet shooting prospect.   Cool

[Uncle Rico]

Looks like a combo of Novak, Carlino, Diener and Sam Hauser

And Juan Anderson. Always gotta remember mixtape Juan.

[Galway Eagle]

So... Joey Hauser? *ducks*

[lawdog77]

This site lists his first skill as "gravity passer". Sounds like a superpower, if you ask me (which of course, you didn't)

A skinny Froling?

[Daniel]

He looks promising.    So on a scale of 1-10, how excited are we to get Ben?
