Nice MLive piece on Ben Braden.

I just moved into the Rockford district, so I will be watching Ben on a weekly basis.
My first attempt to link here so my sincere apologies if it doesn't work.

You'll be watching him on a weekly basis, huh?

Thanks, that was some good stuff. Braden not playing football until 10th grade and being on the west part of the state, probably had an adverse effect on his star rating. He is a welcome additiion at M.
I think west Michigan is well represented on this blog so I am going to link the video interviewing those ten kids including Ben Braden. Good stuff

Being from the Rockford area, I always love to see one of Munger's players head to a D-1 school. I love seeing one go to Michigan even more. I saw Braden pass me in my car the other day and the kid is huge (not that I needed to tell everyone here that). I hope to go to a Rockford game or two this season to see what all the hype is about in person. He has a huge game against Lowell tomorrow night. Obviously both Lowell and Rockford are huge programs. Wish I could get to that game, but best of luck to Braden tomorrow.
