But for now, let’s continue with our state breakdowns from the latest round of updates. After kicking things off for the Class of 2024 with Massachusetts, we’re transitioning to Connecticut where we’ll take a look at the top 2024 talent in the state.
The top spot in Connecticut belongs to St. Thomas More’s Tyler Betsey Tyler Betsey 6'8" | SF St. Thomas More | 2024 State #32 Nation NLG . The fluid-moving and knockdown shooter was one of the brightest players this past summer on the Nike EYBL circuit. Duane Thompson from Putnam Science Academy also makes an appearance high in the rankings. He’s a do-it-all wing that’s got a great outside game and an emerging inside game.
Jason Schofield, a South Kent product, is also here. He’s great in the pick-and-roll and he’s super skilled for his size. Schofield also brings great rebounding ability to the table. Justin Menard Justin Menard 6'3" | PG St. Thomas More | 2024 State NLG , Betsey’s teammate at St. Thomas More, clocks in on the rankings as well. He’s an electric guard that’s really great in transition thanks to his quick pull-up shot and ability to find open teammates in space.
Riley Fox Riley Fox 6'5" | SG Conard | 2024 State NLG , an effective 3-point shooter with great size at the position, is listed as well. Caleb Crawford Caleb Crawford 6'1" | PG Loomis Chaffe | 2023 State NLG , a Loomis Chaffee prospect, is a great perimeter player that is listed high on the rankings.
Connecticut is loaded with guard talent, and two electrifying guards are next on the list – Walt Andrews Walt Andrews 6'4" | SG Notre Dame West Haven | 2023 State NLG and Davyn DeJongh Davyn DeJongh 6'2" | CG Hotchkiss | 2024 State NLG . Andrews plays for Notre Dame Prep where he’s flashed a great combination of shooting and playmaking, and he also brings high-level perimeter defense to the table. deJongh is an offensive powerhouse, as he can score in a variety of different ways while getting others involved.
