San Diego high school star Jeremy Tyler will forgo his senior year of high school due to lack of competition and will play over in Europe next year. This act is the next step after Brandon Jennings skipped college for European basketball. Jennings, a point guard from Compton,CA went to Europe to escape college and says he enjoys it, but it has its downfalls. He regularly struggles with homesickness, culture shock, and he doesn't get his checks on time.
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, and I don't blame Tyler for making this decision. I do blame however, his family. They're being greedy and are only thinking about right now. Tyler is getting his GED online and will be schooled on the court in Europe. The coaches are tougher than in the NBA and the players are trying to feed there families. They won't care who he is and what he's about. Why didn't he go to a prep school, where he could have gotten an education and played great competition. I wish you well young one.
