[quote=“J Felt, post:661, topic:12730”]I don’t get it, I really don’t.
Go to NC State, get recruited over, be criticized when you’re not a star right away. Be remembered years afterwards as a really good point guard that came through.
Go to Charlotte, be a hero and have every future point guard compared to you. How long has it been since Colson, and everyone still wants our PGs to live up to him?[/quote]
Maybe this will help…
Tyler is most effective when he has the athletes that can run the court with him. His talent is best displayed in an uptempo offense with players that can finish at the basket.
While he has broken every record a point guard can posses at Forsyth Country Day the team still is not one of the best High School teams in the country. He just doesn’t have the supporting cast.
Tyler makes his team mates look good. He finds the open man. He sees plays develop and gets the ball to the open man on time and on target.
As a member of a National travel team he is unbelievable. Going against the best talent in the country he puts on clinics. He is a special player.
Why does he want to play in the ACC? Same reason every kid wants to play in the NBA…It’s were basketball is played at it’s highest level. If he has the skill and talent to play in the ACC that’s what he is going to do.
Why will he not be at Wake? He does not want to play for the current coaching staff.
Why did he chose NC State… Because he felt like he could come in there and be successful. He sees an opportunity to take a team that has been middle of the Pack for sometime and take them to the top of the ACC.
If he goes to UNC or Duke he will be a great player on a great team with a great tradition.
Bottom line is he can be the difference maker at State.
Would he be a difference maker at Charlotte? Yes sir! Would Charlotte then be a National Power…probably not without the players to go with him.
Tyler is not just about playing for any ACC school. Tyler really wants to play in a system that will allow him to utilize his skill set.
I can’t wait for everyone to see Tyler on national TV twice a week and get a chance to see what a rare talent he is.
