Elite 2010 Prospect High On USC

By Jason Owens - October 13, 2007

LOS ANGELES -- As the Midnight Madness contest shenanigans continued, I was able to catch up with Jeremy Tyler, a 2010 power forward who looks like a Top 10 prospect in his class. And he sounds real high on USC. The Southern California native, who once lived in Los Angeles and now resides in San Diego, had a lot of good things to say about USC.

On his feelings about USC:

"I love USC. USC's a great school, it's in a great place -- L.A. What could be better than L.A.? A lot of students come and support the basketball team. The studies are real good. I like USC."

On growing up a USC fan and his family connections:
"Always. I always grew up -- 'I like the Trojans.' I used to live in L.A. too. My little brother's mom -- she goes here. She's getting her doctorate degree. My little brother loves USC. "

If Tim Floyd does end up offering Tyler a scholarship, it doesn't sound like a tough sell -- especially if USC continues to develop as a national player on the court.
