Again, if Bennett goes to Oregon, don't see it as an option for Chris.
Guess Oregon out for Bennett.
“@AdamZagoria: .@findlayprep F Anthony Bennett is leaning "90 percent" toward UNLV over Oregon, source tells @SNYtv”
unlv has the two prospects i loved to watch most this year if they get bennett. katin reinhardt is a stud. runnin rebels to the next level if they can pull this off
Add in Birch transfer and they would be solid. Rice doing a great job!
thats if bennet isnt one and done, hes shocked me already thus far and showed me a lot of character on his part by dismissing all the high level programs regardless of prestige or status and focused in on sincerely finding the proper fit for him.
He's 6'7, though. I wouldn't touch him if I was an NBA GM in the first round unless he proves he can play some SF. I doubt he makes the jump after a year, because he'll have a tough time getting stats with the talent at UNLV.
UNLV is going to be filthy next year. They are a legit Final Four contender now that the former UCLA transfer, Mike Moser, who averaged 14 points and 10.5 boards, announced he'll return for his junior year. They'll have a front court of Moser-Bennet-Birch (eligible mid-December), the former 6'9 Kansas transfer, Quintrell Thomas, AND a 6'11 rising junior, Lopez, that played double-digt minutes for them. They also get a big-time scorer eligible from his USC transfer, Bryce Jones, and return two rising senior guards that played over 25 mpg. Oh yeah, then there is Katin Reinhart as well.
UNLV and San Diego State are showing how important the transfer game can be these days. I'm glad Lavin has shown he wants in with the involvement with Branch, Momo, and Turner.
