2024 5 star Trentyn Flowers

[Trifecta]

Have we had a 5 star since Benoit? (Not that anyone can remember if there were actual ratings back then)

How did we end up getting Benoit? We’re there rankings back then?

Considered by many scouts to be the top prospect in the country, Benjamin was sought by 350 colleges. Again he looked for a father figure, preferably a college coach who had played center. Though the best-known man with such qualifications, Georgetown's John Thompson, visited Monroe several times, Benoit and his mother chose another Louisianian—Reed, who grew up in nearby Bernice. It also helped that Reed had graduated from Carolyn's alma mater, Grambling, and had captained the New York Knicks to two NBA championships. "Playing for the best wasn't an incentive," says Benjamin. "It was the incentive."

Rumors of extracurricular activities with Mom also if I'm not mistaken...

Thats an awesome story.

Trifecta is right. Benoit’s mom and Reed were a low key ‘thing’.

Trentyn tweeted from a hospital saying he was getting the care he needed and was proud of his guys for pulling out a win. Can’t find details about what happened. Hope the young man is okay!
