Prep star heading overseas for senior season
If you went to the Flyin’ to the Hoop invitational back in January, you probably remember San Diego High School’s Jeremy Tyler. He wowed the crowd with 27 points, 15 rebounds and four blocked shots.
If you want to see him play any time soon, you’ll need an airline ticket.
The 6-foot-11, 260-pounder signed with Maccabi Haifa of the Israeli Premier League on Wednesday, Aug. 12. He becomes the first American-born basketball player to leave high school early to play professionally overseas. He reportedly signed a one-year deal with $140,000.
Tyler, who averaged 28.7 points for San Diego last season, will likely return to this side of the Atlantic Ocean for the NBA Draft in 2011.
