Class of 2024 SG Jalil Bethea (PA) Offered

[Orangefizz]

Haven't Bethea and Freeman talked about how they would like to link up in college or am I thinking of someone else?

Thought it was Bethea and Sorber

 

[JonB]

I think it was him and sorber

Yeah I remember him and Sorber.

 

[JonB]

Freeman is a great get with Red and Straughn’s DMV connections

Bethea is completely different and we are loaded with young guards for ‘24 with Choppa, JJ, Westry, Copeland and Taylor.

As we all know college basketball rosters are a one year commitment so it’s entirely possible we could need another guard.

Yes, I agree. Syracuse seems loaded at the 2 and 3 at the moment. It will be Interesting.

I have no inside information on this, but I just get the feeling this is going to be one of those ones where we just miss out in the end. Would be a bummer as he's probably my favorite recruit we're currently targeting, but we'll see. Hopefully my vibes are off on this one and he does end up coming here.

You may think so, but I am not convinced GMAC has the recruiting chops, and Syracuse has the NIL $$$ to attract this type of recruit.

I’ve read your posts. You and many others have zero idea what SU basketballs NIL situation is.

And Westry was a GMAC guy.

Ah, a paid site!

You can't be a made (hoops) man until you pay tribute.

 

[CuseBlock]

Bethea passes the eye test as much as any recruit we’re going after. He’ll as good as Judah, if not better.

 

[cuseallday]

Ah, a paid site!

Yeah, it is. And I don't pay for it
But they tweeted about Jalil's top 10 ranking...
Wouldn't surprise me if he's top 25 or higher from all the main recruiting services when all is said and done

With the way red is going to have these guys play, there is no such things as too many “athletes” and or guards. He remains a main priority and SU very much in this for him.

You are right, however Bethea and Freeman would work out just fine.

Peach baskets, if we're being exact.

And he was 6 for 10 from downtown!

And he was 6 for 10 from downtown!

He goes from dribble attack to his shot so quick, it is nearly impossible to stop. That's what makes him a top 20 player, in my opinion.

Agreed. Love his game. He'd be a perfect fit in Orange...

3:20 AM? Solid. Love to have this kid in Orange.

He has already been to Syracuse and Temple for official visits and says he will schedule another with Miami this summer. He discussed his latest thoughts on the three schools with 247Sports:

Syracuse: "The staff tells me I am the missing piece. They want me bad. I talk to Adrian Autry and Gerry McNamara. They have been there since the beginning and have built a great relationship with me ever since."

I hope the Miami visit is in August when it's hot and rainy.

I think it's a great quote, especially when he emphasizes "They have been there since the beginning and have built a great relationship with me ever since ". That provides some interesting insight that to me suggests we will be in this race until he makes his decision and that is a good place to be.
