Illinois’ Ben Humrichous
(St. Louis, MO) – Illinois forward Ben Humrichous continues to prove God right. The former Evansville star has moved to Champaign with hopes of making it to the NBA. However, he has bigger dreams than a pro basketball career.
After a successful NAIA career at Huntington University, the 6’9 sharp shooter joined the Purple Aces and was named to the Missouri Valley’s All-Newcomer Team.
Humrichous loved his time at Evansville and believes he’s a better player and person for having played for coach David Ragland. His skills fit nicely in the Illinois program. Coach Brad Underwood and the Fighting Illini have reloaded for the coming season.
After consulting NBA scouts he knew he needed a full season at the highest levels of college basketball.
Prove God Right Apparel
Humrichous is launching an apparel line that will begin with tee shirts and wrist bands and will likely expand. It is launching today (September 20). When we spoke earlier this week, he told us that Ragland and his father were instrumental in the creation of the line.
He is keeping the the apparel as inexpensive as possible.
‘Prove God Right’ comes from Humrichous’ experience of being passed over by other coaches. He didn’t want to prove them wrong, but he did want to prove God right.
Humrichous wants to move beyond the apparel sales and into running camps to make impact on the lives of young people.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
