Top Basketball Recruit Jeremy Tyler Drops Out of School

PLEASE help me understand his decision....Full story @ http://www.truesportstalk.com/blog-1

Words from Doug Gottlieb:
Jeremy Tyler is good, but by no means the greatest high school player we have ever seen. Instead of learning to win and improving in high school, Tyler is going to chase the almighty dollar before he has even proven he can lead a winning team at the high school level (his team was 15-11 this past season). "Well, he is going to get paid" is not really a sound argument.

Words from a former European player and now Analysts Doug Gottlieb

[TrueSportsTalk]

I agree it's hard to say to no...but only time will tell and I hope he get's his GED

[manonmission08]

brah, feel what you're saying but, i dont know if i agree completely...i mean, society embeds it into our heads that we need money to do anything, this is a capitalistic society, would you agree???...with that said, they've been doing this in individual sports for years, and lets also look at mr stern for FORCING kids to go to college....i mean, there are SO many angels to this, we can go on all day....but i understand where you're coming from as far as "at least get a diploma"...........

[TrueSportsTalk]

yea that's my only argument...if you can make money go head make it...but at least get that diploma...that's all...i hope he succeeds i really do

[eazybreezyxoxo]

He made it.

[sdhs14cheerleader]

he is gonna make it because he already sighned with isreal! nigga back off & get off his nuts!

[jmaalz21]

u dont know if he's going to the league just cause he is big doesn't mean he is gonna make it. if he gets hurt or doesn't work out he is gonna be workin at McDonalds for the rest of his life

[jmaalz21]

i totally agree with you. if he was to graduate high school first AND THEN GO, I REALLY WOULDN'T CARE. but he is dropping out to play basketball. he is not going to get his GED and he isgoing over there for the money. his dad is the biggest crook in the world for exploiting his own son. he plays for a shitty school and claims that he has no comp in the US. he isn't looking for competition b/c he could easily find it if he really wanted to. 2 words: prep school

[ParadoX216H]

I say he is out of his mind to do this. but hey if he makes the money there i say more power to him

[johnvo93]

hes getting his GED and we all know that he would leave after a year at UoL. He's not getting better playing in SD. dudes going to get paid and is getting better prepared by going to europe. and if basketball doesn't work out, hopefully he's smart with the moeny and will use it for college tution.

I totally agree. I mean your young once and he should just enjoy being in HS. Its a one time experience. At the least get a diploma. But I wish the best of luck to this young Star.
