Reading that article makes me wonder about the advice these kids get. Not one part of that quote did he say anything about school or education. I know it is always about basketball first but atleast make it look like you care a little about school. This is 3 schools in 3 years for Tyler now. I've personally seen him play a few times and have never been impressed but he has a nice list of schools after him so who knows.

Tyler's got good size and three-point ability for the three, but I wonder where Lavin/Dunlap would fit him in schematically with some combination of Polee, Garrett, and Harkless. Some guys have talked about him moving over to the two on offense, but I think that'll be a real stretch at the high-major level.

Even the most unskilled 6'7 guys should dominate out on Long Island. I always assumed he was a low D1 player and then saw his rankings and schools recruiting him and was shocked. Best of luck to him at St. Bens though.
Tobias was a somewhat late bloomer, and it isn't a deep class realistically benefits him.

By that, I meant Tobias exploded up the rankings much later in his hs career (going from a borderline top 100 player as a rising junior to one firmly ensconced in the top ten, as a graduating senior), after he refined his body (particularly) and game, through his work ethic and with help from Jerry Powell.

Is Tyler or will Tyler be working out with Jerry Powell as well?

St. B's doesn't have a great weight room, but Rosh McLeod, who, as you know, has gone through NBA workouts and coached at the high-major level, should be able to give him a lot of individual attention, in terms of skill development and conditioning.

NTSG does Rosh hold any hard feelings toward SJU ?
I don't know why McCloud would have any I'll will against us. He left St.John's because they wanted him to play inside, and he wanted to sit on the 3 point line and shoot threes.
