INDIANAPOLIS – Steven Bennett was being recruited to play major college basketball. Then he got hurt, and he wasn’t.
Life moved on. He moved on. For 3 ½ years, he toiled as a Butler Bulldog, following in the sneaker prints of New Castle players before him. He was a walk-on, and playing time was limited.
To hear Bennett tell it, opportunity was unlimited. He proved himself right.
At the end of a December film session, coach Chris Holtmann called him up in front of his teammates and announced Bennett was going on scholarship. Butler players cheered, and Bennett became emotional.
