The basics
Betts is from Englewood, Colorado, where he attended Cherry Creek High School as a freshman, per 247Sports, before moving to IMG Academy. Roundtable.io lists him at 7-foot-3 with a wingspan that measures up to 7-foot-4. Listed as a C at IMG Academy, and he appears on the Colorado board. Status: uncommitted.
The boards
247Sports rates Betts a five-star center and ranks him No. 10 nationally and No. 5 at the position. SI.com wrote that his fluidity may be more impressive than his size, described a buttery-smooth lefty stroke from deep and a baby hook he can get to at will, and called him a shot eraser on defense, a constant lob threat on offense, and an excellent rebounder.
The recruitment
Betts holds at least 10 Division I offers, including Purdue and UCLA, per SI.com. Michigan extended an offer and he has an unofficial visit to Ann Arbor scheduled for September 11-13, with more fall visits planned, per Roundtable.io. He remains uncommitted.
What to watch
Can Betts keep developing his left-handed jumper to complement his rim protection? How does his mobility hold up as he faces more physical post matchups this season?
