Toronto Native Anthony Bennett Likely To Visit Kentucky

Kentucky has been following Anthony Bennett 6-foot-7, 245-pound Toronto native who starred for CIA Bounce. Bennett, who attends Findlay Prep in Nevada, will be in the incoming class of 2012.

His long list of colleges includes Kentucky, Connecticut, Florida, Georgetown, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, Oregon, Florida State, Washington, UNLV, Arizona and Oklahoma.

"I’m wide-open," he said, noting that he might not pick one until April. "I’ll probably cut it down after AAU, and then I don’t know how many or when I will take my visits."

Bennett was asked if he would visit Kentucky.

"Yes, probably. Kentucky is a power school and all of the top players want to go there, and they do great. I have heard the fans are crazy, so I want to see the environment."
