Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Kentucky having all 5 starters declare for the draft probably doesn't help our chances. At least we are in the final four!

Still doubt we have much of a chance, yet at least he enjoyed it enough to keep us around for a while longer.

Yeah, I've been under the impression that UK and Florida are the leaders so I'm not going to be too disappointed if he doesn't come to Oregon. Oregon does need to find some post players though since the depth there is non-existent.

And at least it was the Huskies he dropped before us

I think Dominic Artis is the main impetus for Bennett's consideration.

Let's hope Artis is a helluva salesman.

And let's hope he is more than a one and done.

Is that one week???

Artis definitely won't be a 1 and done unless he has a spectacular freshman season. His size (6-0) doesn't make him ideal as an NBA PG.

Down to three he eliminated Florida.

WOW...huge recruiting news. 2012's Anthony Bennett has eliminated Florida and is down to UK, UNLV and Oregon. Stunning late development

I don't expect Anthony Bennett to take any official visits. He's been to his final three schools already unofficially, UK, Oregon, UNLV.

Espn insider thinks it's really between UO and UNLV for him. His thinking is there isn't enough basketballs to go around at UK for Bennett's liking.

Very interesting.
Perhaps he wants to come to Oregon and be "the guy" rather than just a role player on a team of studs.

Which is funny considering they had a pretty balanced offense and their entire starting lineup will be 1st round draft picks.

I would be shocked if he doesn't end up at UK.

One thing to consider is that Bennett seems like kind of a shy person. He might not want the scrutiny that comes with being a basketball player at Kentucky. Obviously, he wants the exposure. Nobody really knows where he'll end up, but one of his really good friends just transferred to UNLV. Bennett may be comfortable playing in Vegas and may not want to leave.
