There was never a doubt in Stith’s mind that he would be a Cavalier. It was almost pre-destined.

“From the minute I met Coach Bennett (Stith’s sophomore year in high school) I knew I was coming here,” said Broderick Jamal (B.J.) Stith. “It was my dream school and it’s still my dream school. I love it here and wouldn’t trade this for the world.”

While his playing time has been somewhat limited being the last man in the rotation, Stith said he’s not frustrated, but eager to help the team in any way he can.

He realizes that when he checks into a game, fans are cheering both for him and the family name.

“It’s most definitely cool and I love it,” B.J. said. “That’s why I came here. I love the atmosphere. I love the fans. I try not to let that get into my head too much.”

With so much depth on this basketball team, Bennett often spends time studying each player when he evaluates practice sessions. He appreciates the efforts that guys like Stith and Jones make in those workouts.
