Syracuse Basketball: Jalil Bethea up to 5 stars, could push top 5 nationally (itlh; Adler)
Recruiting service On3 updated its top 150 for the 2024 class on Monday, and Syracuse basketball priority recruit Jalil Bethea got bumped up to five stars and to No. 10 across the country.
The 6-foot-4 Bethea, a versatile point guard/shooting guard, is one of the fastest-rising prospects nationwide in the rising-senior class.
In its refreshed 2024 national ratings, On3 has placed Jalil Bethea at No. 10 overall, No. 5 at shooting guard and No. 1 in Pennsylvania.
Not too long ago, Bethea, who has received more than 20 scholarship offers throughout his recruitment, released a top five of the Orange, Alabama, Kansas, Miami and Villanova.
The ‘Cuse coaching staff offered him a scholarship in September of 2022. Bethea took an official visit to the Hill the following month.
He will reportedly take another official visit to Syracuse basketball this coming September, giving Jalil Bethea the opportunity to watch practices led by first-year head coach Adrian Autry.
Syracuse basketball target Jalil Bethea continues to climb the national charts.
After On3 published its new 2024 ratings, I checked in with On3 national analyst Jamie Shaw. Shaw, one of the best recruiting analysts out there, told me that he thinks it’s feasible for Bethea to make a run at the top five overall in his class.
Recently, MADE Hoops placed Bethea at No. 4 nationwide. Among the main recruiting services, he is No. 9 from ESPN, No. 10 from On3, No. 15 from and No. 19 from 247Sports.
