In terms impact on the game from incoming freshmen my personal choice goes to UCLA.

Anthony Bennett has chosen UNLV.

[CKR13]

It is reported that Anthony Bennett has dropped both Florida and Kentucky. Bennett is choosing between Oregon and UNLV.

[carlo]

Uncommitted Anthony Bennett won't be playing for Florida and one of his choices left could easily be Kentucky, which is rebuilding the team with 4 top prospects already signed (Nerlens Noel, Alex Poythress, Archie Goodwin and Willie Cauley).

Western Kentucky University has received commitments from Latvia's Aleksej Rostovs and Michael Bradley of Connecticut.

[CKR13]

According to recruiting rumors, Anthony Bennett is down to two schools: Kentucky and Florida. I'd say Kentucky, who is making a last ditch to land the coveted forward.

Big center Przemek Karnowksi of Poland committed to Gonzaga for next season.

...and UCLA jumped to #1 pos in the 2012 recruiting rankings:

Now, only Anthony Bennett remains undecided among the top 10 players.

[CKR13]

Tony Parker commits to UCLA.

It has been a great recruiting season for UCLA. Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson. Jordan Adams and now Parker. These batch of freshman hype is comparable to the 1965 freshman recruits of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Lewis Alcindor) and Lucius Allen.

Italy's Amedeo Della Valle announced that he will play at Ohio State next season

[carlo]

Looks like big Przemek Karnowski of Poland is expected to play in the NCAA next eason.

The former U17 World silver medalist is close to a decision and narrowed his choice to Gonzaga, Kansas, Marquette and most recently on Duke.

[CKR13]

Anthony Bennett has four schools in mind: University of Kentucky, UNLV, Oregon and University of Florida.

7-foot C Robert Upshaw, Fresno, will stay home as he committed to Fresno State.
