I forgot about TJ McKenzie. Did he go on to have a productive career at Rice?

Did he start at Rice and fit as a big within their system, such that Rice fans would have regarded him a valuable player during the time that he was there?

Where are you living now and what are you doing? We just moved from Los Angeles, where I was living since the fall of 2017. I am now living in the Northeast. I was trying to get a job with the Clippers and wanted a change of scenery. I was on the job hunt, looking to coach college, scout, be a personal trainer or assistant to someone (If not at PC, then perhaps he could call the coach at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, and invoke a meltdown!) friars.com/news/2020/4/8/mens-basketball-hear-from-friar-basketball-great-ryan-gomes-05.aspx"Keep Calm, Wash Your Hands & Carry On"

Great and insightful interview with Ben Bentil, courtesy of Friars.com: "...The transition from my freshman year to my sophomore year was mostly based on confidence and opportunities. The coaches always knew what I could do because I showed it during practices and I put in the extra work. Those factors, combined with the work and help of God Shammgod helped me to improve... ...Man, that facility (Ruane) is insane...There's no excuse now for not wanting to put in the extra work... ... I loved school since I was young, so being at school was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I know this is the first time I'm saying this publicly, but I personally wanted to stay in Friartown. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep playing for PC because my family back in Ghana wasn't in the best condition. It was a matter of helping my mother make ends meet... ...PC athletics and Bob Driscoll never turned their backs on me and still gave me the opportunity to finish out my degree online and I'm truly thankful and very appreciative of that." friars.com/news/2020/5/6/mens-basketball-hear-from-former-friar-legend-ben-bentil.aspx"Keep Calm, Wash Your Hands & Carry On"

Always thought his decision was based on his need to help his family. Interesting he mentions God - no surprise there...

82, just to clarify, that interview was on Friars.com and wasn't one I conducted.
