Where have you gone? (BU transfer edition)
Former Bucknell player Ben Slater has surfaced at Division II Goldey-Beacom. Here's a note from story in the Wilmington News-Journal:
The Goldey-Beacom College men's basketball team is having success early in the Division II basketball season.

The Lightning men, under third-year coach Chuck Hammond, were 3-2 after five games. Senior forward Ben Slater, a 6-6 transfer from Division I Bucknell, had 18 points and 10 rebounds in a 74-65 overtime loss to Philadelphia University on Dec. 6.
Slater played three years at Bucknell, averaging 3.2 points while playing over 15 minutes per game in 71 games, including 4 starts.

Slater left the Bison prior to the 2003-2004 season. He shows up in Goldey-Beacom's stats from last season as having played two games. It also mentions in his profile that Slater working on his MBA.

A reasonable guess would be that Slater must have been injured last season and gained a medical redshirt to play this year, although Goldey-Beacom's Web site is thin on details. They don't even have current year stats posted, though they do have boxscores from the games thus far, from which we calculated Slater is averaging 14 points and 8 rebounds per game.
