The Virginia Cavaliers have just landed their first transfer of the 2022 offseason in Ohio grad Ben Vander Plas. A Wisconsin native, the 6’8” forward was named Bennett after Dick Bennett (Tony’s father) since Vander Plas’ father played for Dick at Wisconsin Green Bay.
Earlier this week, I wrote this on Vander Plas and what he’d bring to the table for the Wahoos:
As a player, Vander Plas is an interesting prospect. Standing at 6’8” and weighing 232 pounds, he’s a skilled big man who can shoot the ball from deep and play out on the perimeter.
