Villanova got a 2024 offer out on Monday night to local prospect Jalil Bethea.
Bethea is 6-4 guard who plays at Archbishop Wood. He has had a fantastic summer, and as a result his recruitment is outpacing his recognition from analysts throughout the industry. In addition to Villanova, Bethea picked up an offer from UCLA Monday. Despite that attention, he has yet to crack the rankings in his class (although the 2024 Rivals rankings haven't expanded to the full 150 yet) in the estimation of Rivals or any of its competitors. That is almost certain to change as the rankings get updated.
Bethea started garnering some smaller school attention at the end of his freshman season. Since, his recruitment has grown steadily if slowly, adding offers from the likes of Temple and St. Joe's and eventually Mississippi State. Of course, his recruitment has shifted into another gear with Monday's developments.
For now, another name to keep an eye on in the 2024 class.
