2008 PROSPECT Josh has a lot athletic ability and upside.  However, he’s been playing behind Mark Anderson and Aaron Pogue and this current Sophomore needs to add weight and strength to be a factor.  Nice ball skills

Josh has been opening eyes at the Kentucky Hoopfest.  He’s heard from Xavier, Dayton, Oakland and Louisville. He said his favorite right now is Xavier because of their coaching staff and academics.  Here’s a report from the Hoopfest:

Joshua Benson, C, Dayton Metro- At 6-9, 197-pounds Benson is someone high majors should definitely keep tabs on. He’s extremely long, which helps him block shots and get some dunks inside. But the best part of his game, today, was when he faced up and knocked down jumpers, which did at least five times in the two games I watched.
