Assuming not ALL of our current Forwards (AND Marek) all depart after this season; 
then one thing that might make Benny stick around for a 2nd season, is not getting a massive amount of minutes in his first year, due to legit, experienced competition for minutes at the  spots.

IF any TWO of:  
Marek ([I][SIZE=2]assuming he has JB's assurances NOT to play the 5[/SIZE][/I]), Q, Griff, Woody, Bras return, then Benny is in a 3-way rotation at Forward with 2 other dudes who are pretty legit, and have a leg up due to program experience.

So he might "only" get 20-something minutes a game, like a Frosh Q did.  
And not 38 like OSB or 34 like Mali or 30 like Lydon did.

And while I guess anything can happen this year in terms of total player [S]anarchy [/S] free agency, you've gotta assume that 2 Forwards will return, right?   Right??

IF Benny plays well enough to earn 30+ minutes (or PortalMageddon happens, and all the others leave), THEN he'll probably enter the He Gone zone after the 1 year.

The one encouraging sign that he may be already planning on being 2-and-thru, is that he's actively recruiting Justin Taylor to play w/ him at Cuse, but Taylor is a '22.

Bringing this back to Clingan - 
IF we have Benny, Clingan, Taylor, and a PG like Quadir - 
then that is indeed a Top Ten sorta team.
