One giant leap for Tyler - Yahoo! Sports

after reading this, i tend to agree. if what the father says is true, then i see no problem with this. in fact, i see no issue with any hs student leaving school. especially if they have options in life.
it seems that they family is stable, are financially well to do. and they have gone the right way by employing prudent financial as well as legal advice to plan out a 2-5 year plan for a person that has amazing talents and skills.
a person can learn so much more by being immersed in the real world rather than being cocooned.
lets see how he turns out in a few years time

he would also be available to play here in the nbl and do schooling?

Not the same coin though

So he's doing kinda like Brandon Jennings did? - I hope he can make the best of it. Highly touted prospect would be a shame to see it go to waste.

interesting take on how to use talent out of HS and skipping college to focus full time on ball. Nice story mate

Looks like an interesting move, but have they (the family) considered everything.

What happens if he gets homesick and decides to return home. My understanding is that once you have been paid you can not play college ball. That is why guys from the AIS go to college because they have not been paid.
