2024 Recruiting: Tyler Betsey down to 7 schools

[KemBuckets21]

Betsey has had to shift gears a few times during his recruitment- didn’t get the first choice, people got almost hired, people got actually hired. I still don’t know why that guy made that earlier tweet about Betsey and UConn.

what do you think the first choice was?

what do you think the first choice was?

Duke. Him and his parents have been pretty open in interviews about really wanting Duke

Which tweet?

Which tweet?

This one-

It just didn’t match anything that anybody thought at the time.

I don’t think it’s crazy to assume he’s torn between the Clingan local package, the high school coach connection/B12 school, and an SEC NIL offer to play for an offense that specializes in creating 3pt attempts. He might currently have us third in that order, but I’m sure he hasn’t ruled it out, assuming we haven’t moved on from him.

That’s not what the referenced tweet was, though. I get that he was trying to make a Rutgers point, but his first part was just wrong.

Are we still even involved with him anymore? Seems like we have gone cold on him and Ngongba.

As a casual, Love to have Betsey but it’s not the end of the world as we have a nice group of forwards already. Already have 2 top 100 commitments so it’s not like we don’t have anyone.

Center seems to be the biggest need right now but with the portal you have to figure Dan Hurley will be able to add a quality Big before next season.

Really Flagg is the wildcard remaining for this class.

This Kent fella seems to think we’re still in on Betsey

Like my late Dad used to say about recruiting, "We can't take everybody."

Lmao.

Transfer portal bouta hit different next off season.

Transfer portal bouta hit different next off season.

Yeah probably. It's the last COVID transfer portal window. We'll be probably looking for our Newton/Calcaterra/Diarra equivalents, but likely at big instead of guard.

It would really blow to lose him to another Big East team. He must really hate the idea of staying home if that happens

Providence has as good a shot as anyone confirmed!

THE PROVIDENCE FRIARS STRIKE AGAIN.

This man just quoted the average SAT score for an undergraduate course he's teaching. That's weird. Call me skeptical based on that alone.
