Can't help but think there is a little heard headedness in it. Clearly Ben and Saben's former teammates know how to coach and shoot jumpers and the importance of arc, etc. on the ability to shoot. I would Saben was coached on the need to correct his shooting flaws. Fact that he hasn't made any changes says to me that he is a bit stubborn and believes he knows better.

Hahahaha...If he was willing or able to do that at WLU he would have also had a bright future with out the need to transfer down to NAIA!!!!

Where's Yahel ?

That's a good question. Don't seem to be a lot of takers for him.

FYI May 4
Keegan Saben transferring to Thomas More in naia. See a bright future if he improves shot mechanics for more arc and more rotation.

Another of the dirty little secrets of D1 athletics. This guy obviously graduated with one of these "player friendly" degrees:

His broadcasting career got "debacled!"

You can still practice if you're academically ineligible.

Easy on The Herd ... that's my second alma mater.

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

Prediction...He will redshirt next year, get minimal playing time the following year and then be in the transfer portal the following year. Doesn't look like Marshal favors big SG's so he will probably be in the SF grouping. He will have three scholarship SF ahead of him and two scholarship SF's in this years incoming class.

I further predict his AAU Team and the on-line "scouting services" will tout him as further proof that they are experts at developing or identifying D1 players. I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't already trumpeting him as a "success" for them!!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

A Chapmanville poster on another high school forum posted that he was a walk-on at Marshall. I think he would have been a good addition to West Liberty. Guess it's next man up!

Re: West Liberty Hilltopper Basketball

There are 13 non walkons on the MU roster. So I would tend to agree that he is a walk on is a reasonable guess.
Good luck to him. Hope he hits the weights hard.
