2022/23 Senior Tribute
BEN MIELE
As a high school senior in Florida, Ben was considered a raw player with considerable potential. He was one of the highest-ranked players we'd ever recruited, and after some careful polishing, he emerged as the floor general we always thought he'd be.

All Player of the Game: 9
2018 High School: Rated *** and #112 overall by the FBCB scouting service.
2019 Freshman All-Conference (Patriot League)
Ben averaged almost 22 points per game as a high school senior, and his shooting numbers--with the exception of this season, when he lost his touch--indicate a player who could have scored at this level had we needed him to.
Instead, the beach boy from Florida kept his teammates happy by passing them the ball. Ben led the league in assists per game as a junior and nearly did so again as a senior. His career total of 442 helpers is a Lafayette record, and it's the sixth-best in Patriot League history.
Ben is talking with an agent about the possibility of playing professionally in Europe or South America; he's fluent in Spanish. If those plans don't work out, he'll return to Florida and figure out what his next move should be.
Thanks for the memories, Ben.
