Even though he isn’t currently ranked on any of the major recruiting sites, Rembert has a lot of skill and will add depth the Bearcats backcourt in the future.

Cincinnati Basketball: Bearcats look to sustain recent recruiting momentum
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.
Miller reacted to the signings of both commits and officially introduced Betsey and McKinley in a social media post this month per Cincinnati Athletics.
With a chance to secure an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2019, Cincinnati is looking to find major success in Miller’s third year at the helm.
247 Sports Director of Scouting Adam Finkelstein described Betsey as “a naturally talented prospect who has made notable strides in recent years.”
