    Adopt Justin Mapp for the summer.

    With Mapp's U-20 committments and stuff it wouldn't really be that much time. Ben could take him under his wing and explain to him how to be a top notch winger. He'd show him tactical things, stopping counters, tracking back, when to recognize dangerous situations and defend them before it's too late, etc.

    It'd give Ben someone to work out with ... and clean his car, etc. Justin's athleticism and tricky technical skills would push Ben's competitive buttons and make sure he returns to fitness quickly and completely.

    Justin would learn where he's supposed to be in each situation, and Ben's confidence would rub off on him as well.

    Come on Ben, Adopt Justin for the summer! Make him your little brother. :D

    Much as Etch adopted Ben.

    As soon as Ben got to the club, Etch took a liking to him.

    Between Etch's guidance, The Bruce's needling, and his own inborn talent, Benny became ROY.

    Good call Tron!

    Personally, I'd rather Ben just focused on himself and not take on any extra responsibilites or concerns. As exiting as it was to have him back he is still far from what he was.

    I'd like to see Ivan take him under his wing. You may not like him, but he is a very cagey guy and really knows football. He is very respected in the locker room. He understands how to be a real pro.
