The Betsey commitment is the one that pushed my enthusiasm for this past offseason from happy to ecstatic.
It was a very true measure of how big the NIL and recruiting turnaround was.
Of the transfers, Betsey committed to Syracuse last, after our roster already had Freeman, Kingz, White, Kyle, Souare and even Anthony and Fennell as guys who could be competition for Betsey in earning minutes.
Guys don't transfer to peer programs for that situation unless they love the Coach and/or the money is really good. And yet, here Betsey resides!
Betsey gives the team higher upside and deeper depth. We still look good without him, but if Betsey becomes a 40% 3pt shooter who can come in at both forward positions and play strong defense, the teams ceiling is very high.
