Sadly, it appears that way. You can't teach height and those added inches seemed to make a difference in his starts at the end of the year.

Honestly, I just thought his hair was awesome. And I'm tired of reading posts from people bitching about other posters.

The scarier question to me is why is Pardon wearing Illini colors?

I liked his hair before but in my experience with young people, a style change like that can be an indicator of a new beginning or change in attitude. Not saying he ever had a bad attitude but fresh starts at that age can be powerful. I really like Benson but I don't know, he may have the potential to amp it up. He may look in the mirror and see a new man who has left his young style behind. This could be a good sign.

Wow now we are making psychological judgments based on hairstyle! It must be the offseason...

I'm with the OP though, this is much more fun than all the other posters whining at each other!

Totally agree. Now that he left his hair behind, he will push Pardon for the starting center position. I project him as All Big Ten next season.
