2024 Recruiting: Tyler Betsey down to 7 schools

[bikerburt]

Would be very surprised if he isn’t a Husky!
Nothing beats home cooking and having family close by! DC is the perfect example of someone who has benefitted!

The mutual interest between UConn and VJ Edgecombe takes away any sting of Tyler Betsey wanting to go elsewhere.

No hard feelings if he doesn’t want to stay home, but Cincinnati is a….choice.

This could be something. Could be nothing. Who knows?

Recruitment: Edgcombe has narrowed his list to include ten programs. Of that group, however, Duke, Miami, Alabama, St. John's and Michigan seem to be the most serious players. The NBA’s G League is also under consideration.

Stock Risers: Five SFs that made the most of their grassroots season

Four-star V.J. Edgecombe is ranked No. 23 in the 2024 Rivals150.

Where did you see that he was a heavy UConn lean?

I don't think lean is the right word.

It's been mentioned a few times by insiders that he and his family have not been completely sold despite tireless work by the staff.

However, some people still think he'll end up at UConn because Hurley/Moore tend to get their guys and our recruiting and on court performance has been even better lately (and Duke hasn't seemed to prioritize him). But there's been no indication that his preference is UConn.

And @7774 , I must be mistaken, but seemed to me, in another Betsey thread, there was a picture or something, and the words, why wait, just sign, you know you're coming here, or something to that effect. That's what made me think it.

Based off his X handle, I know he's legit.

 

[RichCTBB]

I feel like an OV to UConn would flip that order. We might not be Duke, but WE ARE UCONN. We have Dan Hurley and they don't.

I know Richard personally. He is very wired into the RU athletic department.

I was skeptical at first but if you look this isn't some burner account, rather someone who just isn't as technologically inclined that seems to have a decent RU following.

My educated guess is he grabbed this from some Rutgers board behind a paywall but it's pure speculation on my part. Only reason I posted is there could be something here.

He used to post on the Boneyard as RU72. I’ve known him 25+ years

Since Rutgers wasn’t 1 of his 7 schools I’m wondering why a Rutgers person would have inside information on Betsey.

Could be something like Duke backed off Betsey when they heard he's going to UConn, and shifted their focus onto Dylan Harper who's a top RU target

Richard has a lot of contacts, including at UConn

If u read the article Navery posted this guy is an NIL insider, so my guess is he knows what’s going on….at least I hope so!

Rutgers will have the #1 recruiting class and go 20-15. I will never understand any athlete with options going to Rutgers. No tradition of winning at anything. Well, Women's Hoops used to be good....

 

[king conn]

Rutgers has a long history of putting UConn recruits in the NBA, of course they would know!

Well, they were undefeated going into the Final Four in 1976, so there's that.....

Yeah, that Women’s program didn’t transition well. Vivian might’ve held on too long, but I’ll stop before I get escorted out

Rutgers gets credit for opening the check book to land CVS.

Do we know if Betsey’s timeline has changed or not? He said that he was looking to make an announcement in the September or October time frame if I recall correctly. I just didn’t know if something had changed in that regard or not.

Haven’t seen anything and overall been a bit quiet after the Nowell commitment. I imagine we may start to hear more on guys like Ngongba and Betsey after the team is back from Europe.

Tyler Betsey only has only one less championship than Jim Boeheim.
