Benny Williams back in the portal from UCF

[UpstateSM]

I'll be rooting for him

 

[djorange1989]

Hope he gets his life turned around

 

[miamicuse]

Let's hope Disney World will motivate Benny.

 

[l'orange]

Hope the change does him well.

 

[Cheriehoop]

He’ll be coached by a former Dukie, Johnny Dawkins.

 

[Jake]

Good luck to him. He needs a change of scenery.

 

[jncuse]

The change of scenery and the learning from mistakes hopefully serves him well and he matures.
He made mistakes, but from afar didn't seem like a terrible kid - one that just needed to figure things out.

Not sure if the unrealistic expectations of the fanbase relating to his immediate impact, impacted him either. Maybe, maybe not.

 

[JustPherU]

Good luck I guess, but hardly got to know ya.
Honestly I don’t care how you do down there and hope you never play for Boeheim’s Army.
Just keeping it real on my end.

 

[RyanCuse44]

Best of luck to you...Johnny Dawkins.

 

[swish7]

Fun. Finally a reason to watch UCF. (My wife teaches there)

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Here's hoping this is an environment where Benny can figure some stuff out and grow.

 

[pwong]

UCF is just island of misfit toys. The UCF AD doesn’t support Johnny Dawkins at all so they have to get talent by adding a bunch of knuckleheads.

I think you will need much more help than he will, just takes a little time. Just keeping it real on my end

 

[Ottoman]

Best of luck to Benny. He was always a really nice guy to me. I hope he has a ton of success at UCF.

How much time we talking? I ain’t getting no younger.

Benny obviously has some anger and maturity issues but he is 22 years old. I hope he uses this new opportunity at UCF to make himself into a better person which will make him a better player.

I sure wasn't the mature, responsible person I am now when I was 22 either.

He does need to grow up it seems, but he definitely needs work on his game too - handle, post play, defense other than weak side blocks, rebounding in traffic, etc.

Few are as mature at 22 as they will be later in life. However, Benny is behind compared to his peers, or we'd be seeing a lot more dismissals from a lot more sports teams.

Yeah like the staff was able to do so well for Judah, seriously how about personal responsibility, family. That kind of talk will cripple you. Utterly ridiculous to say that about the staff. I hope he does super well by the way. and he is a nice kid, just needs alot of grace like us all. Just gotta realize that young fella and you hyper good!

 

[Sbucketball]

Does this not embarrass Judah or the rest of his family? How can they not get pappy under control. Unbelievable.

 

[Lukeyloo]

Grandpa Mintz is something else!

Let it all out everyone. Tell the whole story.
