I'm guessing UConn is the team to beat here. He does say good things about the IU coaching staff and assembly hall but it might be hard to beat the in-state team which just won the NC.

“The visit was great. I would honestly say it was my best visit so far. They were all super comfortable with my family. It was almost like we were all family. We were all comfortable with Mike Woodson and the staff. It was great. They just talked to me about how they would make a plan for me. They kept talking about how they like the way I shoot and how my shooting could take me anywhere.”
 

Well, that’s pretty good.

That's not Tyler Betsey in that picture.... Is this the Tipton Edits equivilent of buying a picture frame and leaving the stock picture in it?

If he picks IU does that impact McNeely?

I'm not sure how big that class be, but do we have an idea who the priorities are? I've been assuming that McNeely, Queen, and Fland were at the top of the board, but have no idea if that's the case.

I think you’re correct about those three, but we would never turn down Betsy, Swartz, Mustaf, or Ngongba.

Plus we're still in on Newell, Boateng, and Harper (although these may be longer shots).

Boateng seems like a legit option.  
 

I believe we are aiming for 4.  
 

Betsey would probably effect McNeeley. And vice versa. 
 

Queen is option 1 for C.   Ngongba and then otherwise the transfer portal. 
 

Then 2 guards/wing..  Mustaf, Schwartz, Givens, Boteng, Fland.

Yup, and add Harper, Newell, Givens, and Boateng to those who we would never turn down.

The 2024 class seems like the springboard to consistently being in the upper echelon of college basketball. Of course we have resources available now that didn't exist in the past. This season feels really important to me in terms of how the future plays out.

My favorite thing in that article, and it’s been in several now , is that Brandon Miller is Nate Oats’ Hood-Schifino. Every wing that talks about Bama says they see him as the next Miller, good comp or not, though, in Betsey’s case that’s not unreasonable.

There’s one you don’t see every day. A kid bailing on a Duke visit.

Hearing Alabama.  UConn wouldn’t surprise me either.

I think he’s been UConn’s to lose pretty much throughout his process. They were on him so early.

Alabama has been on him late and the word I’m hearing is they lead.

Hope it’s Cincy, but imagine he bit hard on the whole, “You’re the next Brandon Miller” sales pitch.
