[URL=”http://www.zagsblog.com/2012/05/06/bennett-eliminates-kentucky-down-to-unlv-oregon/”]Here[/URL] is what his AAU coaches had to say about his decision:
[QUOTE]“He really likes Kentucky,” CIA Bounce coaches[B] Tony McIntyre[/B] and [B]Mike George[/B] told SNY.tv. “He loves what they’re doing there. But Anthony feels it would be a better fit at UNLV or Oregon.
“He likes Oregon and UNLV better. He has a chance to be an immediate impact” at those schools.”[/QUOTE]
Scout.com reporter Evan Daniels also confirmed the news.
Many assumed Bennett would be headed to Kentucky after surprising cutting Florida from his list of schools, but academic issues may have prevented him from becoming a Wildcat.
Bennett is 5-star prospect (No. 1 PF and No. 7 overall) via Rivals. He is expected to make a decision later this week.
