Long-time Syracuse basketball 2024 recruit Jalil Bethea from the Philadelphia area revealed his top five on Wednesday night, and the Orange made the cut, which is both encouraging and unsurprising.
The 6-foot-4 guard disclosed a top five of Alabama, Kansas, Miami, the ‘Cuse and Villanova, per an article from On3 national analyst Joe Tipton.
Bethea, a five-star, consensus top-20 national prospect in the rising-senior class, is arguably the fastest-rising prospect in his cycle. When the Orange coaching staff offered a scholarship to Jalil Bethea in September of 2022, some recruiting services had him inside the top 100.
