TYREKE had nice game tonight against a district team finished with 44 points a couple 3's one nice block and 3 rim shaking slams several steals. Looked very impressive this team had one kid about 6.7 that could not slow him down.

Good stuff! Thanks for the updates good luck to him and the rest of the team closing out the season.

I'm liking the fact that it seems Tyreke is taking the ball to the bucket instead of settling for jump shots. He's obviously hitting a few outside shots, but we need more guys that can break down a defense and attack the basket. As of today, we're 189th in the country in free throw attempts. Last year, we were 90th. We need a guy like Tyreke that can get into the lane and draw the defense in to either draw fouls at the rim or provide open looks for others on the outside.

Keep it up, Tyreke!

I guess you saw his highlights from last year. He literally "flies" to the hoop through traffic from any angle. Very exciting.

Didn't get to go to game tonight but listening on radio,Tyreke had 21 points 4 rebounds and didn't play last min of the first quarter.I wonder how the other 3 quarters will go .lol

He has 29 at the half with 3 dunks.He may not see much of 2nd half.

Thanks for sharing these. I needed something positive to watch today. I'm excited to have Tyreke next year.

What do you guys think about what you see in these highlights,I know it is highschool but still to avg.at the 40 A game pretty good. I hope you enjoy him as much as we have the last 4 years he sure has brought us a full house ever night that he is on the floor.

My questions/concerns after watching the highlight film is, why in the world do these opposing teams sag off of him at the 3 point line so much? and why don't deny him the ball when he doesn't have it?

If I was an opposing coach and the other team had a guy that routinely goes for 40 a night, i'm face guarding him with my quickest most athletic kid on him and telling him "Tyreke does not catch the ball tonight. do you understand?"

As far as the sagging off on the 3 point line, it could mean 1 of 3 things to me. 1. They are just terribly coached and have no idea what they are doing. 2. They have to respect Key's driving ability, so they must sag off a little. Or 3. Tyreke's "weakness" is the 3-ball and the opposing teams pick their poison and let him shoot it (he obviously makes all the 3's in his highlight film).

Huntr1970 if you have a link to Tyrekes stat's this year, I think it will clear up the picture a little better.
 
Yes, there are two things that are obvious. The defense is terrible and he can really score. It just seems to me that he has an incredible touch on layups. Of course, we are watching the highlights, but I think it was mentioned that he is shooting 77%? He looks very good and he looks like one of our best recruits ever. I'm going to say a guard version of John Sherman Williams.

He does not shoot as many 3,s as you think usually 3 to 4 a game but if you let him stand and shoot it he will and we wish he would take more 3 pointers but there is not any one yet that can stay with him if you give him an inch he will take it and usually draw a foul or score.There is 3 or 4 kids on this team who can make 3 pointers all day so it is just hard to defend them.He is alot quicker than he looks on film I think it is his stride that fools people how quick he really is.i am sure that there will be stats posted soon for the whole season he is on track to get to 3000 points for his career if they go very far in the region,which they should.He is just a special talent that only comes around about ever 10 or so years.

Well to explain how special I think he is; I compared him to John Sherman Williams. He played for us, and is #7 on the list of all-time D1 college career scorers in the state of Indiana.
