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

[Orangezoo]

Quadir, Westry, McLeod and now hopefully Bethea. Nice to see us getting back into PA and Philly in a big way and in a hurry.

DMV, NYC, local kids and PA. Soon much talent in these traditionally friendly recruiting grounds for us.

 

[Scott11]

Bethea is exciting and quite a character though not an a diva way. Makes the game look fun and effortless. What an add he would be.

 

[Sbucketball]

Bethea would be gone by the time Easter got here, if we were lucky enough to land both. The question is if we could take Kiyan, Tyler Jackson and Easter.

I've been assuming that Jackson and Easter is an either/or situation.

They could work together. It all comes down to how many guards are left on the roster.

Hopefully Kiyan just grows a couple more inches so we don’t even have to think about it that way hahaha

If we play a versatile style having 6 guards isn't hurting a thing.

He gonna grow and be a forward to slow for guard

Top 5 now?? Wow. Are we going to have to start worrying about him looking at OT Elite?

This hasn’t been in his consideration at all. He wants to play college ball from what he has shared. But. There’s always a but

[Cuse181]

Going to be a pretty crazy year following Bethea. This years Kyle Filipowski -- skyrocketing during the summer.

 

[50YRsofCuse]

If we get Jalil, great. If we do not, then it won’t be for the coaches’ lack of trying.

Looking back, we had Quade Green until he visited UK and was convinced by Calapari and the various recruits that he would have a better time and be a better fit there. Quade lasted two years there but was over-recruited and left for University of Washington where other issues surfaced.

Bethea is a great,very confident player. He will go to the program that best fits his direction and goals. Depending on who stays and goes after next year, that school could be Syracuse.

 

[5OutFred]

Bethea will be at CP3 Elite camp along with Judah and JJ. Prime opportunity to make a direct pitch about playing guard at Cuse and form a genuine relationship.

Not to mention no one from Bama on the college roster.

 

[HOFCeluck]

So we getting this guy or nah

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yeah, man.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Yeah, man.

Niiice

 

[Niastri]

So we getting this guy or nah

I've already got his signed letter of intent, but he wants to keep it secret for a little longer. The strippers at Bama are off the hook.

 

[pwong]

 

[Giants1973]

Must get. Cuse!!

 

[goodroc]

Must get. Cuse!!

The kid could end up being the #1 player in the class. Do not be shocked if he does not go to college and Pulls a Bazley. He's apparently that good.

No. He won’t be number 1. Cooper Flagg is in this class.

 

[cuseallday]

No. He won’t be number 1. Cooper Flagg is in this class.

Yeah, FWIW, On3 national analyst Jamie Shaw told me a few days ago that he thinks Jalil can push for the top five, but No. 1 is probably out of reach, given Flagg's reclassification to 2024.
