CU women’s basketball offers 2024 forward out of Australia
Colorado women’s basketball head coach JR Payne is hot on the recruiting trails as the Buffs continue building their 2024 class.
They are now going international in their search. Tabitha Betson, an Australian forward who currently resides in Florida, announced on Twitter last week that she received a scholarship offer from the Buffs.
Per her Twitter, Betson has been playing for DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida and on the Australian U17 national team.
The 6-foot-2 rising high school senior made it easy for us to scout her by posting her highlights from the Deep South Tournament, which took place in Raleigh, North Carolina in April.

Betson showed some good back-to-the-basket skills and also played great post defense. She was even able to do her best Nikola Jokić impersonation, starting the breakaways after blocks or rebounds. She also has a solid mid-range game that could stretch out to the 3-point line — similar to Quay Miller.
She also owns offers from USF, UCF, Colorado State, Maryland, Clemson and others.
So excited to receive an offer from Colorado! Thanks to the Coaches who came out to see me @TFNsRun4Roses Great to talk to you @CoachJRPayne and I can’t wait to learn more about @CUBuffsWBB @DME_TRAVELBBALL @DMEACADEMYGBB @AusEliteGirlsBa pic.twitter.com/8yA12uh4Al
