Anthony Bennett is a highly touted recruit and desired by Florida and Kentucky. Bennett is ranked as the #1 power forward by Scout, Rivals, and ESPN. Bennett lists Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, and UNLV. Here is a look at each school:
Florida- What is not to love about Florida? Great weather and great women. But also, Florida is coming off of an Elite Eight run. Florida did lose guards Bradley Beal and Erving Walker, but Bennett would make an immediate impact in the frontcourt. Billy Donovan wins and he has put the talents of Joakim Noah and Al horford in the NBA. Donovan and his staff are in contact with Bennett almost everyday. Florida is going to be hard to beat.
Kentucky- Kentucky seems more like a NBA draft factory instead of a college. The defending National Champions have their starting lineup set except for the power forward position. Returning freshamn Kyle Wiltjer is penciled in as the started but Bennett could easily take his spot. Calipari is known for putting point guards in the NBA, but he has had 2 big men drafted as lottery picks, turned a center with no pro hopes into a second round pick, and will have 2 big men drafted in the first round in the upcoming draft.
Oregon- Oregon. Well what to say? Oregon has a cool court. Yeah. The PAC-12 is weak. He could make a HUGE impact in such a weak conference. Bennett would certainly get tons of playing time and he could help Oregon get to the NCAA tournament.
UNLV- I have been told that Bennett is not considering UNLV but lists them to make the Findlay Prep guys happy. Findlay Prep head coach Michael Peck was the video coordinator at UNLV for three years.
