Class of 2024 SG Jalil Bethea (PA) Portal to Alabama

Sounds like what Dasher is describing to me lol
We'll have to wait to find out, but he said that the PG reminded him of JJ. Is that game or physically. If physically, 6' doesn't cut it. This is all entertainment, and this offseason will be entertaining for sure.
 
In the last 4 days I’ve seen about 40 guards who are better than JJ. He’s a top 5 scorer in the ACC because he was given free rein to shoot as much as he wants.

Almost every player in D1 who shot as many 3s as JJ made more than he did.

I’d like a shooting guard that can actually, you know, shoot…
Also not thrilled about your volume shooter being terrible from the line.
 
40% from 3, 85% from the line. Only 2.3 assists per game. He’s a more efficient JJ basically. Not a PG, at least hopefully. GREAT 6th man though!
I am not sure yet how I stand on Bethea. I want TOUGH players. Players that will play for their teammates and sacrifice. I am not sure that is Bethea. He seems, at this point, a player that only thinks about himself. That is what we have had for the past couple years and that doesn't win games.

My post you responded to doesn’t include Bethea’s stats. It’s about Jacari White.

I fully agree with your Bethea thoughts. This thread took a wild ride. Haha.

Sorry man, it's late. I guess the bottom line is, we need a TOUGH team. I don't know who the right players are that fullfill that requirement. But, we can't fill this roster without consideration of toughness. It is crucial for Red to build this roster with TOUGH players who are 100% committed to winning. If that means JJ sits because he is weak, so be it. Same with Donnie. They will either learn or be cast off.
 
A 5’10” guard with who’s a gunner with average to poor efficiency. I mean what could go wrong. Sounds right up our alley. Would be a running out the clock year if he’s the point.

So, the 2nd coming of JGIII at PG?

Does Red have a kid or 2 who can transfer in, to complete the set?

Awesome!

LOL Well, he didn't average 17 a game. He came real close to 17 a game. As in more than 16 but less than 17. You will hear the name this week.
Dash, are you happy with the addition, or more of the same?
 
No. This kid is big.
Okay, I'm going to assume this means 6'3" or above for the sake of trimming the list a bit. Guys that are 6'3", listed as guard, and averaged 16-16.9 PPG this year (there are 29):
Owen KoonceSr.
Xaivian LeeJr.
CJ LusterJr.
Terrence Edwards Jr.Sr.
Tyler TejadaSo.
Sam Hines, Jr.Sr.
Po'Boigh KingJr.
Brody FoxSr.
Bryce JohnsonSr.
Tyler McGhieSr.
Quentin Jones
NIU
So.
Robert McCrayJr.
Ryan ConwellJr.
Davion Bailey
UIW
Sr.
Chase HunterSr.
TK SimpkinsJr.
Cam Carter
LSU
Sr.
Caleb LoveSr.
Ian MartinezSr.
Orlando LovejoyJr.
Marko MaleticSr.
Josh UdujeSr.
Otega OwehJr.
Richie Saunders
BYU
Jr.
Kennard Davis Jr.So.
Desmond ClaudeJr.
Sam LewisSo.
Erik Reynolds IISr.
Langston ReynoldsJr.

From this list, the only one that is currently listed as being in the portal on 247 is CJ Luster from Stony Brook.

If I expand it to 6'2" and above, Tarence Guinyard from UT Martin is also in the portal.

Maybe the fact that dash is saying we'll hear the name this week means he isn't in the portal yet though.
 
You have to admit that it is both interesting (and pathetic) that this time of year is the most exciting time all season. Lots more hope and anticipation than actually seeing them play the game.

Among guys that aren't in the portal yet, the following would kinda stand out to me as potential matches based on the little crumbs we've received so far:
  • Rahsool Diggins - maybe not eligible anymore? From Philly. 6'2", slightly more assists than turnovers, not a good shooter.
  • Jaland Lowe - Soph at Pitt. 6'2". My guess is he's too much of a PG to be the guy dash is referring to.
  • Xaivian Lee - From PA, currently at Princeton. Probably too much of a PG.
  • Quentin Jones - Soph at Northern Illinois. 6'5" guard that averaged 3.5 assists per game this year.
  • TK Simpkins - Jr at Elon, from Brooklyn. 6'4" guard, 2.6 assists to 2.5 turnovers this season. Career 34% 3 point shooter.
If I had to make a guess from this group of 5, I'd probably guess it's TK Simpkins but I'm probably wrong.
