[Billyboy78]

[Billyboy78]

Offered in February. Visiting in a couple of weeks. Plays PG for powerhouse Paul VI, where Kenny used to coach. Smallish (listed at 5'11") but lightning quick with elite passing ability, good shooter, defender and leader. I'm excited about this one.

Some good game highlights of Ben against a quality opponent. He's #3 in white.

I do love me some little man Rhody point guards!!

We've had little ones like Tyson Wheeler and Mike Powell. I think Hammond is somewhere in between, but closer to Tyson than to Powell. (hopefully) His speed and quickness do remind me of Fatts though.

Yeah I was definitely thinking more on the side of Tyson, Fatts and Jarvis Garrett. Hopefully he does not take the Mike Powell career path.

Lol so quick to judge

I’ll bet if the rankings changed and he became top 100 you’d be posting left and right we need to get him

He's a 3 star on the rise. He plays PG for one of the best programs in the country. His teammates are all going P6. One scout said he's been watching him for 3 years and every time he sees him, he's better than the last time he saw him. Smart kid too.He'll probably blow up this year. If he was 6'2", he'd be a 4 star.

It's all good Billyboy. Just want to see the best players possible come to URI.

[KevanBoyles]

I think Archie likes traditional PGs and they know there is PT available if they make the grade.

[Dino611]

With some of our players still having a Covid year some might not use it and graduate and go play over seas

[CamsRams]

Hopefully this is still on for today.

[ramster]

He plays for Team Takeover. His team is in 1st place 14-3in the 18 team division. There are 2 divisions of 18 teams each.
Will be at EYBL Peach Jam in July

UCONN hosting two of his teammates as per zagsblog......

The Huskies will then host Paul VI (Va.) and Team Takeover small forward Isaiah Abraham and center Patrick Ngongba from June 12-14.
The 6-10 Ngongba is rated as a four-star center by 247Sports.com and on Tuesday picked up an offer from Duke.

Wow, that's big. Kind of like the final flourish to a great team is a great pure PG.

[Jdrums#3]

I don’t mind having a small, dynamic pg on the team that can potentially play at a high level. If the skill level is there, a small, speedy pg can be a pest for the opposing teams O and be a problem to keep up with on D.

Hope we can land him and we get an opportunity to watch him develop into an impactful player.

Go Rhody!

[Dino611]

Looking at his stats from HS last year he did put up some great games even with all those 4* teammates I think he’ll be going up the rankings soon

That's why I hope we get a verbal now and a signing in November. He could blow up. From what I've seen on tape, I love his game.

[Rhody74]

Isn’t Duke interested in him?

[ramster]

Isn’t Duke interested in him?

No.
His teammate on Team Takeover Ngongba has interest from Duke

[Jdrums#3]

Anyone have any intel on how Ben’s visit went ?

Cool little video there at the end. And the throne is amazing!

That throne is amazing. I want one for my house when I work remotely.

[Dino611]

I’ve only seen the videos like that at the last part when they commit

I've worked from home full time for years and I found that particular throne model not very conducive to desk work.
No adjustments for the arms or back, plus...and this is critical if you're going to 'desk job' it...no wheels and it doesn't spin.
If you have a desk job....chair gotta have wheels and has to be be able spin...and I haven't been able to find a good solid throne that meets that criteria yet...

I am with you, 78. I really like what I have seen of the player.

Seems like Ben is committing in 4 days

We were his last visit, right? I'm thinking he's coming here!

Rhoooodddddyyyyy bound

Have to like our chances.

[adam914]

Assuming we want him, that's a recruiting battle we really need to win.

[Jersey77]

A solid point guard with his quickness would be a great addition.

Too bad we won't get a packaged deal with his teammate Garrett Sundra from Paul V1.

[rjv]

He is Rhody bound....We are a perfect fit.
LETS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Billyboy78]

Assuming we want him, that's a recruiting battle we really need to win.

We definitely want him. He's the leader of one of the best high school teams in the country. His teammates are all going P6. He would be too if it weren't for his size. He's fast, tough and very talented. The school I'd be most concerned about is Mason since Ben is from Virginia.

[Jdrums#3]

Let’s goooooooooooo!

Video looks real good , welcome to URI
