Betts averaged 19.8 points per game last season as the Wildcats advanced to the Class 4A Sweet 16, losing to eventual champion Air Academy. That figure was fourth-best in 4A last season, and improved upon his 10.1 average as a sophomore.
Betts, who is 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, is a four-sport athlete. Last school year, he played boys tennis, football, baseball and basketball.
Betts’ teammate, Mike Ranson — the state’s leading scorer in 2014-15 — committed to Northern Colorado in June.
Colorado now has six Division I boys basketball commitments from the Class of 2016.
