Class of 2024 SG Jalil Bethea (PA) Offered

[rrlbees]

Strange Adam is offering NIL to both Moore and Bethea. Same players, same position, same year. And if Moore does commit Saturday, where does that leave Bethea?

Moore is a shooting guard. Bethea is a combo guard. Not sure, but SU may be recruiting him as a PG.

I know some call him a combo but in his highlights he looks like a 2G to me.

Find me any coach in America who travels to see a recruit the day before a conference game.

Cal has done it numerous times

This is an insane argument. I'd love to land this kid, but if JB was out recruiting the day before one of the biggest games of the year what would that message send to his team? How would they be adequately prepared? How would JB be prepared? We are playing UNC!

It’s ok because JB has starting calling recruits more regularly now lol

As does most schools who have people giving out large sums of money. Kids are making decisions based upon highest bidders.

Huh?

Just one of my posts on high school stats:

Big sample size for Jalil Bethea with over 1000 minutes. The numbers I have on him the last couple years:

• 1189.8 minutes
• 121/213 2 pointers (56.8%)
• 122/308 3 pointers (39.6%)
• 126/146 free throws (86.3%)
• 24.7 points/40 minutes on 62.7% TS%
• 6.9 rebounds/40 minutes
• 3.1 assists to 2.7 turnovers/40 minutes
• 1.4 steals/40 minutes
• 0.6 blocks/40 minutes

Without the context of watching his games, he looks like a stud statistically. The shooting percentages are good at all 3 levels, the TS% is great (his TS% was over 70% in EYBL this year) and he's doing it on high volume as well. Rebounding numbers are very good for a guard, and the assists, steals, and blocks are all fine for what I assume is not a PG role.

I love this kids game. He’s much better than his ranking. Add Moore with this kid and you have the making of a fantastic backcourt.

I think there's a very good shot of this scenario transpiring for SU

So I guess no fland in that scenario.

Great question, and I don't know at this point. I guess one could say that perhaps Boogie is a one-and-done, while Jalil and Elijah aren't. But still, that could be a crowded backcourt.

Embracing change is fine, but as long as the idea that NIL money cannot be used as a recruiting tool (see NCAA rule number 1) then isn't the whole system a farce. You can argue that the NCAA is a non factor and no longer has any power our authority, but until university presidents and administration make that decision we're in a fantasy world where nobody can admit what is going on right before their eyes. The emperor has no clothes mentality is pervasive and really laughable.
