Behanan adjusting to like in Bluegrass

The state's newest highly-regarded basketball prospect - Chane Behanan - is getting used to life in Kentucky after transferring from Cincinnati Aiken to Bowling Green.

The 6-foot-7 , 230-pound Behanan has already committed to Cincinnati and is considered a top-100 prospect in the Class of 2011. He played with Bowling Green during the summer and will be a junior at the school starting in the fall.

"I'm getting adjusted," said Behanan, who is playing for the Kentucky Blazers in the 16 & under division at the Kentucky HoopFest. "I had fun in the summer league getting to know all the players. Other times I was down here, I played but I we finally moved and I like it."

Behanan had family in the area and he said the move had been in the works for a few years. Now that he's in Western Kentucky, Behanan can't wait to get the season going.

"I am looking forward to it," he said. "It should be a lot of fun."

A strong, physical presence on the floor, Behanan averaged 20 points a game each of the past two seasons at Aiken. He has been committed for two years and said he's still getting interest from other schools but noted his commitment "is still good."

"I have a real good connection with (Cincinnati coach) Mick Cronin and his players and that's why I did it," Behanan said.
