Bennett down to four (to UNLV)

[woundedknees]

At least some KU blogs are taking this seriously.

"It has been confirmed Kentucky is no longer under the consideration for Anthony Bennett. He is down to Oregon and UNLV and will make a decision soon. The reason on eliminating Kentucky was he felt a better fit at Oregon and UNLV. The academics of him are in question and there might be more to the story than anyone knows except him. I wish him the best of luck where ever he chooses."

"Now that Mark Lyons has decided on Arizona and it looks like the Cats’ chances for Anthony Bennett are slim, it’s time to turn our attention to another target, Julius Mays, a former teammate of Ryan Harrow at NC State."

"The nation’s top uncommitted recruit dropped Kentucky and Florida from contention, leaving only UNLV and Oregon as potential college destinations."

Interesting that before last weekend, Bennet was at the top of this list, and now is not even on it:

And on this list, Bennet is the top ranked Undecided player for Kentucky:

If Oregon is still recruiting him hard which i dont know
and he has academic issues getting into Oregon why
would we waste the time and not fill the spot with someone
else that does qualify? Me just a gut feeling he comes here.

Kentucky fans just can't fathom that a player might choose another school besides UK. So of course their theory will be grades or that Calapari quit recruiting him. They really are full of themselves.

Looking at their forums, it's sort of funny to see how many fans write this off as "We didnn't want him anyway"' or even "Signing with OU (That is the abbreviation used.)? Oregon sanctions are on the way!"

I didn't attempt to elevate their level of intellect...

Hmmm....whose more likely to break the rules, Altman or Coach Cal?

Wouldn't it be nice to see UMass or Memphis officially make it to the Final four one day?

Chris Obekpa is visiting this week. That would seem to indicate that Bennett is likely headed to UNLV

Could be. Or just a backup plan in case he does go to UNLV. Could also be an already scheduled trip.
You just never know with these kids and you need to stay on it when you just don't know. Who's to know tho.

We've been trying hard to get him here for over a month, I doubt it indicates anything.

[Boom]

I wonder if Altman would over sign if both players are willing to commit.

I don't think he could get someone to delay their enrollment since they could easily go elsewhere to play. Oregon is only getting one or none of Obekpa or Bennett.

Doesn't he have until fall?

Someone could easily transfer out by then.

Probably not something you would want to count on happening again.

I wouldnt be shocked if a player transferred out.

[ncduck]

Could be Altman knows someone will.

If it happens, it happens. Hopefully, one of these two will sign on the line and everything will work out.

He could also sign someone up for financial aid for just 1 year. I believe that's what Ucon did when Drummond committed at the last moment.

I have a hard time believing Altman wouldn't take both of these guys. There's an infusion of talent coming into the Pac12 this year. The league wont be down for long.
