Where is Cade Bennerman going to college?

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably, the best college prospect in 2025 will announce his verbal commitment Wednesday morning C.S.T. at Father Ryan High School at 9:05 A.M. Arguably is the word used because [player_tooltip player_id='1318564' first='Christian' last='Brown'] is deservedly #1 thanks to his production, skills, size, and potential. Cade is #2. For now...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When Father Ryan senior power forward <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1455019' first='Cade' last='Bennerman']</strong> shared his intention to verbally commit via X direct message Saturday night I freaked out. This is the one. I can figure out this choice of his, that Cade chose for his future college home, if I put in the requisite amount of work. What follows is the most information I was able to gather on the six recruitments of [player_tooltip player_id='1455019' first='Cade' last='Bennerman'].</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><br><br>Penn State</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Nittany Lions signed 2024 Mr. Basketball <strong>Jahvin Carter</strong>. Could they wrangle a second out of Tennessee? Rarely does the Big 10 dip down into the southeast for recruiting. Before the obnoxious westward expansion they largely recruited the Midwest and Northeast. Penn State is hoping to sign [player_tooltip player_id='1455019' first='Cade' last='Bennerman'] to their program this month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>SOURCES: None, yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>VISITED: Not officially.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>GUT FEELING: Not in the Top 3.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Northwestern<br></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Unsubstantiated rumor from 1 source: "Cade is a Wildcat." - Monday 3:25 PM</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>ME: You think?<br><br>Unsubstantiated rumor from 1 source: "Confirmed.
