Per an article in the MN Daily from a few weeks ago:
Kadyn Betts was far from ecstatic to be sitting on the bench once again, but his coaches are not ones to worry about a single season. They reassured him his time would come.
Kadyn Betts’ parents instilled loyalty and a hard work ethic into him at a young age. They always made sure that anything he started, he finished.
Those values his parents imparted came to fruition during that tough time of not being on the court. When asked if transferring was ever an option during those first two years, Kadyn Betts was adamant that he would not leave.
“It never even crossed my mind,” Betts said. “I love this University too much, I love the coaches too much. This is my home, truly, and I want to stay here no matter what.”
Betts kept his confidence high and it carried over to this summer. Johnson had high praise for the 6-foot-8-inch sophomore.
“He’s really done a good job when we’ve gone live throughout the entire summer,” Johnson said. “Not just being a guy that can shoot threes, but can drive it, can make plays in transition, can defend multiple positions.”
Kadyn Betts is heading into his third year on the team but still has three seasons of eligibility left. He is among the handful of Gopher players who stayed with the team after last season ended.
The self-proclaimed versatile player said he will do what is needed to win among the other four veteran Gophers.

Kadyn Betts plans to never quit fulfilling basketball dreams with the Gophers
