Be interesting to find out the identity of "whisperers." If its an ex-coach I am going to have to reevaluate my opinions of certain people.

Just to clarify, I was pointing to Wake's coach Steve Forbes, who was buddies with Greg Lansing from his time in the Valley. All those guys talk all the time and I'm sure Greg gave a huge thumbs up for Jake LaRavia and we know he would do the same for Tyreke Key as he always spoke glowingly about him.

That said, I still think his best play is heading overseas. Americans have an even smaller window over there since many of those European teams have a limit to how many Americans they can have per club -- like only 2 or 3 of their roster IIRC can be Americans or it may even be non-nationals. I don't think another year of college film will do anything for him and, in fact, if he went from being "the man" at Indiana State to just a supporting piece at a HM, it could hurt his pro prospects. Definitely needs to pick his spot wisely.

Now, if he doesn't care about playing professionally and instead just wants to play HM ball to prove it to himself and play in an NCAA tournament, more power to him.
 
I think we all need to come to grips with the Tyreke playing at a different, probably Power-5 school next year. Schertz seemed pretty convinced that was the case in the UNI pre-game interview.

Tyreke is a small, small town kid. What motivates him may be very different than what motivates others. He may have barely traveled outside of TN before coming to ISU, so it’s not unreasonable to think he may not want to be a basketball globetrotter. Just a thought.

Celina, Tenn isn't much larger than the French Lick-West Baden Springs MSA... maybe, just maybe that will be a motivate him to see the world in person, using basketball as a ticket to those travels

Just a thought

True. I also grew up in a small down of 1,300 people, and that motivated me to get out and see the world outside of our county lines. There are several others there, though, that much prefer that comfort and will never step out. I have no idea which way Tyreke leans, but it’s possible he would rather stay and play another gear or college ball before leaving the country for years.
 
I think Key is going to be limited if he is trying to move up. I don't think he is good enough to fit in with a good high major team. There is not a huge demand for 2 guards his size.
The high majors are loaded with taller players that can blow right by him and can shoot.
