Thought the same thing....If you're an incoming college junior and you need to work on arc and shot mechanics...it ain't happening these next two years...he is who he is...

Too bad really because he was a gritty "do everything" type of player who had actually worked his way into the starting line-up in the playoffs in 2018. Had he worked out his shooting flaws and become a consistent, even if not spectacular, shooter, he probably could have earned significant minutes. He didn't and is now going to play at Thomas More.

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!!!!

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.

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:

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!!
