Dayton Nails Down Commitment
Marques Bennett, a rock-solid 6-5, 190 pound guard from Brebeuf Prep in Indianapolis, Ind., committed to Dayton this past weekend. Bennett had considered five other schools.
Bennett took his first official visit to Valparaiso and also visited Dayton this past weekend. Wright State, Indiana State and Loyola (MD) were also considered.

"I liked the visit a lot," Bennett said. "I got along pretty well with the players and coaches."
Wright State had the first in-home visit with Bennett on Sept. 13, while Loyola visited with him on Sept. 17 and Dayton on Sept. 19.
Bennett had a chance to unofficially visit Dayton back on August 18.
Bennett is a bit of a jack of all trades; he does not do any one thing outstanding, but rather does a little bit of everything well. An adequate ball handler, Bennett moves very well without the basketball, and is more of a midrange shooter than a three point bomber.
Bennett averaged 23 points, six rebounds, six assists and five steals per game as a junior at Brebeuf. He said he has a 2.9 GPA and has scored an 1150 on the SAT.
