Travis Steele is at it again.
Hampton big man Benjamin Stanley had a raft of high-majors from which to choose, including Georgetown, Maryland, Oregon, and Illinois, but in the end Xavier landed his signature. At 6'6", 225, Stanley doesn't have the typical height of a big man in the Big East, but he's built like a brick outhouse and has high-level athleticism.
After a pedestrian freshman year at Hampton, Stanley broke out in a big way last season, dropping 22 and 7 per game on a shooting line of .574/.333/.643. He played more than 35 minutes per game and had a usage rate of over 26%.
