Tyler Betsey to announce today! (Commits to Cincinnati)

“When I was a sophomore here at Windsor High, (UConn) was where I wanted to go, really where I dreamed of going,” Betsey said. “But really going through the process and realizing what you need and what you want, that’s really what it came down to and that’s where Cincinnati really separated themselves.”

Contradicts what he said over the spring and summer. I wish the kid luck at Cincy.

Tyler Betsey comes home to Windsor High to announce his commitment to play basketball at Cincinnati

Windsor native Tyler Betsey, who transferred to St. Thomas More and was named the CT Player of the Year in 2022, returned home Friday to announce his decision to play college basketball at Cincinna…

Thought he said he wasn’t really much of a UConn fan growing up because he never watched much basketball? Whatever, next. Wish him luck but not a good move!
 
6-8 185 power forward? Is he thinking of Cinci because of the strength and conditioning program and Mike Rehfeldt who came to us from Cinn. and then returned to Cinn?

“But really going through the process and realizing what you need and what you want, that’s really what it came down to and that’s where Cincinnati really separated themselves.”

With that kind of frame he has some serious filling out to do as a PF. We can do that too Tyler!

Seems kind of like Kris Middleton to me, in terms of PF. Not a banger but tall enough to play it as a backup. So more a SF/PF.

Officially announced - Cincinnati

Seems like a good kid, had a speech written to thank a bunch of people and got super emotional during it. And it was a long list, he really put effort into it. Best of luck to him!

So, he is going to The University of North Covington Kentucky. Nice!

I am sure the Cincinnati coaching staff took him to the Clifton Skyline and avoided LaRosa’s.

To congratulate us on yet another NC??

Also his analogy makes no sense. More like freshman prom to junior prom. It’s good to take a kid who’s already been developed. If Cam Spencer had previously turned us down, would TheHorde have said not to take him for the 2023-24 season?

No it makes perfect sense. Thanks for playing.
 
Is this the end of our dear friend the Tyler Betsey thread? I can hardly remember life without it.

First thing I thought of when I read that also, which is why I posted it. As you said, whatever. We’ll be just fine.
 
Sorry but these in state players that go elsewhere don't mean that much to me. When we get #6 and #7 their thoughts will go along the lines of "man, I really f,,,,d up, I should have been part of that"

Funny I was writing in my reply “…I wish him the best” but do I mean it? Sure want him to have a healthy, educational career at Cinci. Hope he has a nice career but I hope he’s lucky if he plays in the NIT actually at best. Agree with you!

So who are our remaining '24 targets at Betsey's position besides Flagg?

I mean honestly does it even matter? We’re poised to have a great year, transfers will want to come here. If we whiff we can just go to the portal, or find a guy who decommits in the spring when his coach gets fired, or a guy who is lower ranked now and blows up over the course of this season. There are many players in each of these categories every year.

Don't have any really right now known. 2024 commit Abraham is the same position though probably more a 4/3, where Betsey is more a 3/4.

Flagg could theoretically play 3/4/5. Edgecombe is a big 2, or maybe a 3 in college.

On the plus side UConn has two players already on the roster in Stewart and Ross that play the same position as Betsey from 2023 class. Not to mention Johnson and Karaban potentially being around and overlapping positionally and maybe Roumoglou.

TB seems like a nice kid, no one should wish him ill because he chose another school, and it's very kind for some here to say he should be offered a second chance at UConn via the portal, but it would be more interesting to know just what it was about "CincU" that "separated it".

Was it their new membership in their 10th Conference (the Big18)?

Was it those two championships 60 years ago when they were in the Metro? Well two is double the number won at each of South Canada and Georgetown, so you have to give them that.

Was it the coach? Took till his 6th year to have a winning record but then had a nice last four years in his league at UNC Greensboro. Post season not so much.

Is it all the players the school and the coach have sent to the NBA in the past 10-20 years?

Will he get airline miles for all their far flung travel? That sure separates him from his time on campus.

Or maybe he's a kid with too many good options and just happened to pick the one the rest of the country is scoffing at.

The answer to why Cincinnati has been mentioned on this board endlessly for the past 6 months. His HS coach is former Cincinnati guard Cane Broome
