2024 Recruiting: Tyler Betsey down to 7 schools

[husky429]

You know that how?

How stupid do you think our staff is?

It doesn’t make any sense. Why would focusing on Flagg turn of 2 recruits who don’t even play his position. No recruit expects you to only recruit them. This is stupid

If our staff really put themselves 100% in the Flagg basket, they should be fired. Good thing they aren't stupid... and clearly didn't.

The staff is fine, you...

 

[husky429]

Wow, clever jab.

I didn’t mean to open a can of worms in which insults would fly. Just a question for those who follow recruiting closer than me. There are posters here whose opinion I respect and a couple have responded. Thanks.

Of course they didn't. But I get the feeling Betsey would have already committed if Flagg wasn't in the picture. The balancing act is why Dan Hurley gets the big bucks. He hasn't committed elsewhere yet.

No, lol.

As you would say....

[UCTitleTown]

I think the ship will have sailed before Betsey gets around to committing. Just my opinion looking at the landscape.

 

[NJHoops]

Betsey has no great desire to come to UConn. The staff is doing their due diligence by reaching out to/recruiting a local guy. The only time there was really talk of UConn interest on his part was when there was whispers of Preston joining the staff.

I enjoy how this is worded, like ending this thread and posting in others is part of redirecting efforts and resources

Betsey has stated in basically every interview that Tom Moore talks (or talked) to him every day. Anyone who thinks we back burnered this kid for Flagg after years of work is insane. Not every kid will make the choice we want, it is what it is.

Not shocking that Alabama is now in his speculative top two considering Preston is there now.

 

[NJHoops]

And he/his mom really want Duke, but they don’t seem to want him like that. Recruiting is a cold, cold business.

Also, Preston mainly chose Alabama because they could offer him a real assistant job (despite what the title is), and UConn couldn’t.

This whole idea some people have that Betsey was at any point a lock is absolutely unsupported by any actual evidence. It's insane that it keeps getting repeated. Especially when the information that's actually out there points him away from UConn.

My opinion might not matter much to most, but NJHusky backed up what I said about this recruitment from the get go.

The only reason people felt good is because of the CT connection, but it’s really not an advantage.

 

[olehead]

Lot of guys showing their age with the talk of pre-Calhoun recruitments.

No idea how you could even follow recruiting pre-internet. Lmao

Street & Smiths was the go-to.

You've been saying this for months. I don't understand why people don't get that. It really shouldn't be a surprise... he's always come across as ambivalent.

 

[HuskyWarrior611]

Street & Smiths was the go-to.

Was this a newspaper? Lol

 

[businesslawyer]

Was this a newspaper? Lol

It was the Phil Steele’s of its day. Both college hoops and college pigskin. By far the best of the annual manuals that came out.

According to SI Tyler cancelled trip to Duke this weekend.

I got Street & Smith since 1971-72. Bob Gibbons also put out a recruiting news report.
