"Ben Mills, a 7 footer from Wisconsin verballed to Boise State over the weekend. Mills had an offer from Utah State, but considering the fact that the Aggies signed 7 footer Diloreto late, and are now looking for a PG only for next year, the offer was probably rescinded."

Doing a bit of digging, we found this from 2008:

Arrowhead High coach Craig Haase on Mills: “The great thing about Ben is that he works hard every time he takes the floor, whether college scouts are watching him or if he is in the gym by himself.

Ben knows where he is at as a player and knows where he wants to be and that drives him every day to work on his skills and strength.”
