Ben Bentil will announce his college choice on Monday.
“Making my decision on monday y’all,” he Tweeted.
The 6-foot-8 Bentil out of Middletown (DE) St. Andrew’s is considering Providence, St. Joe’s, Temple, Miami and UCLA.
He has visited Temple, St. Joe’s and Providence with home visits with Miami and UCLA.
If Providence lands him, it would be a nice catch after they missed out on forward Abdul Malik Abu, who picked N.C. State over Providence, UConn and Florida.
Miami would appear to be a long shot at this point after they landed two bigs, Omar Sherman and Ivan Uceda, in the past couple days.
Bentil is a powerful four man who can transition into a three.
“He works extremely hard, he’s one of the hardest working players out there,” his AAU coach, Terrell Myers, previously told SNY.tv.
“He can shoot the ball extremely well. He’s become a better passer. It’s him defending the perimeter. Being more of a defensive player on the perimeter at 6-8. That’s one of the thing she’s going to have to do at the next level. He’s a four-three, but as he develops I think he’s going to be a three because he’s a tough kid that doesn’t mind defending.
“He came over here as a raw five and you can see the work he’s put in in three years. With him working, I think he’s going to be a three for somebody’s team and really helping out.”
