Truly an exceptional young man on and off the court. First basketball player since Jamerson (1990) to be selected, 8th Bobcat overall. https://ohiobobcats.com/sports/mbkb/2020-21/releases/2021...

I agree with this completely. You can tell Boals has won over the Vander Plas family and Ben himself. Says a lot about the man because Saul seemed close to BVP also. Glad Saul found this diamond in the rough, glad he stayed and glad Boals got to take him to the next level. A true exempliary Bobcat.

Because of the Covid extra year...would BVP be eligible for a 6th year since he redshirted one year? #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top oldkatz General User Member Since: 12/22/2004 Post Count: 1,423 Status: Offline     RE: BVP Academic All-American    Posted: 6/2/2021 10:04:28 AM  Not only Handsome Ben, but Brainy Ben as well.

Agree with all of your thought here except one phrase: "Diamond in the rough". BVP has never been a diamond in the rough. In my opinion, from the beginning Ben has shown skills, BBIQ, academic intelligence, and just flat out being a good human being.

That would be what, 7 years on campus for BVP? And that would mean how many degrees then? The over/under would be 5, no?
