Cincinnati Basketball: 2024 4-star Travis Perry commits to Kentucky over Bearcats
Connecticut native and 2024 4-star power forward prospect Tyler Betsey announced his commitment to join the Bearcats program just over a month ago!
During his time at St. Thomas More High School, Betsey averaged 21 points and five rebounds en route to earning All-Conference honors last year.
Several notable schools were hoping to land Betsey before he committed to Cincinnati in recent weeks including Alabama, Duke, Connecticut and Indiana.
The recent commitment is a huge moment for the Bearcats as Betsey and 2024 4-star center Tyler McKinley will create a dynamic duo in the future.
