The UNLV Runnin’ Rebels have landed the top available prospect in the country and ESPN’s No. 7 overall senior in power forward Anthony Bennett (Brampton, Ont./Findlay Prep).

Bennett selected the Rebels over finalist Oregon on Saturday.

Bennett, who has yet to take an official visit, was the subject of a yearlong recruiting tussle that stretched to both coasts. Florida, Kentucky and Washington were deep in Bennett’s recruitment until the early part of the spring when the list began to shrink.
