I don't care if he told you he wanted to commit--I'd take Bethea. Tre can't do what he does and everyone has been waiting for 2 yrs now.

Yeah Jahki athleticism is off the charts . Nowell and Bethea backcourt is fun to watch .
Elliott Cadeau was definitely missed today . Seemed to be a lot of chirping and bad body language between Howard , Pettiford , and Thomas . But that will happen when you get beat down all game like they did .
Yes and Cadeau would look to distribute. Pettiford fits how Auburn likes to play so he'll be in a program that plays to his strengths but I wouldn't like him if you are at a place where you have to everyone looks. He's too "hero ball" approach.
Also, I agree that Rob Wright is great, but I love the trio of Team Final and how they play together. They understand how to attack and when to take shots and when to get others going. Wright looked better off the ball as a catch and shoot guy to me. Bethea can score anyway possible and does so efficiently. He's a 6'5/6'6 2G who will be elite due to his efficiency. Nowell just grows on you. More you watch, more you like.
Thomas needs to work on his jumper. It always pisses me off how nobody on the bench can help kids when they are badly missing in warm ups with such easily correctable things like "hold your follow through" or "use your legs more, it's why you are short". But they let guys die on the hill and it frustrates because technique reminders during a game can help a lot more than anything X's and O's.

Karter Knox came up big in his team's 74-71 OT win over Team Durant. His play when they were down 8 late in 3rd quarter got the game to OT and a big 3pt hit with them up 1 late put the game out of reach for the FL Rebels.
Karter had 24 pts 10 rebs and was 10-19 and 4-9 from 3pt line.
As usual when you watch these games, you are baffled at some strategic blunders (FL Rebels had 3 of them) and find a player you despise. For the Rebels, it's #0, Daniel Macgregor. An obnoxious little Napoleon complex guard who wouldn't get the ball to Knox or McNeely at key points so he could do obnoxious reverse layups and miss. Got bailed out on some Women officiating NBA Summer League type of calls. Was always yelling at teammates and couldn't defend a statue. Other than that, well add the mandatory Jack Harlow haircut every white or mixed kid has to have this Summer...and I want to vent about that too. Sorry for rant...but literally wanted the HC to bench his ass for his obnoxious and awful play.

Darius Acuff really struggling after a fantastic week last week at NBA Top 100 Camp.
Had a horribly inefficient game after a mediocre game yesterday. Trey McKenney was great yesterday but was off today as well as The Family blew an early lead and lost to Boo Williams.
3 McKenney, John 4-14 0-4 2-2 1 4 5 3 10 2 1 0 1 25
5 Acuff, Darius 6-24 3-11 0-0 1 6 7 2 15 5 5 0 0 30

AJ Dybanta ended up with 33 pts 11-19 from the field 2-5 from 3 and 9-12 from the line in the loss . He’s a stud and he doesn’t really force anything . The game comes easy to him .
Expressions lost tonight but AJ Dybantsa, did his usual thing:
3 Dybantsa, Anicet 11-19 2-5 9-12 1 3 4 2 33 4 2 0 1 33

NJ Scholars were down almost 30 early in their game and only lost by 8. Billy Richmond only played 17 mins though. Had 6 pts and 2 rebs. Odd but whatever.
I'm going with Bethea, but I'd be trying to land both in the same class. I'm an offensive guy though. LOL
I’m fine with a backcourt quartet of Bethia, Travis Perry/Nowell and Karter Knox.
The kid is the leading scorer in KHSAA history and hasn't even started his senior year in high school. Has shown he can score against good competition and will play multiple years in college. Imo we can't let him go to IU or Purdue or UVA and watch him with frustration for four friggin' years like we did Lofton at UT.
You take Peterson/Bethea if you can pull that off. I know this will be heresy but I'm willing to lose Karter Knox if that scenario is in play.
Needs to improve his consistency on jumpshot but always have to remember these guys are young and a year from now, they look a lot different and more consistent.
Robison's performance is stunning and credit to him for improving because he was '21 UK disappointing when seeing him against top teams/competition last year. Good for him.
McAndrew is going to easily be the best player in state in '24 now Freitag is going to OTE with SoCal Academy.
Freitag/Robison are both committed to Wisconsin too. McAndrew is waiting to see if Bluebloods jump into his recruitment by end of Month and I think some will by end of weekend.
Wilson has a strong chance to be in the top 3 of this class by this time next year. Just scratching surface of what he'll be at 6'10. Stats from loss to Soldiers this morning
24 Wilson, Caleb 5-15 0-2 7-8 2 4 6 1 17 2 6 3 2 31
A young guy in '25 who gets forgotten about but has had an outstanding EYBL season and is playing 17U as a '25 class member is Jerry Easter Jr. He had a big game this morning too in W over City Rocks who has a nice PG in GTown commit Kayvaun Mulready.
2 Easter, Jerry 9-16 3-6 7-8 2 7 9 1 28 0 5 0 1 28

NH Lightning and JL3 are in OT with NHL up 3 with just over a Minute left. Other game early is also in OT with Meanstreets up 2 pts on UPlay Canada.
For those who are at home, remember that NBA TV is televising now--through 4:30pm EST today, tomorrow, and then has games on Friday/Saturday as well as ESPNU having games Saturday (Semis of 17U) and Sunday they are showing 4 championship games.

I’m hoping to see a few more offers soon. Next year, we may only return Thiero, Oyenso, Sheppard, Burks, and maybe Hart and Dillingham.
Counting Cyril, we may need 6 or 7.
We’ll likely need 1-2 PGs, another SG, two other wings, and a PF.

Team Final just beat CP3. Game was on NBA TV. Caught the last few minutes of the game so I don't know how UK recruits played.
I think that’s the tough spot Cal is in right now. Trying to slow play them all, since Peterson rumored to be an eventual reclass candidate.
Absolutely need 2 of the 3.
You can play all 3, but Knox would be a forward--I think he's a better shooting version of PJ Washington personally---but get me Bethea/Peterson and I like Nowell at PG--guy has won everywhere he's played and that carries over to CBB more often than not. Won a State title as a FR at Germantown in TN, then in Philly he's won with Justin Edwards at Imhotep Prep and with Team Final they've won a lot of big games. He's also used to sharing the spotlight and playing with other elite guys who need the ball.
Really should come down to who you want more--Richmond or Knox and have nothing to do with the other guards.
