Yes that’s him. Level of competition matters when it comes to scoring records. I believe he’s only 5’10 so he doesn’t have the size to compete at this level. Would be a good practice player/character guy on the bench though.

If second place is $27,000 per year, I should hope to finish 2nd. I spent half that much for my entire 4 years at UE.

Would be a good practice player/character guy on the bench though. Yeah I agree. I don’t think he likely ever makes an impact, but if he’s interested in being a part of the program, I say let him walk on. Based on the scoring record & winning this competition, he seems like a hard working kid that’s focused on the right things. Would be a positive for the culture they want to build I would think. Maybe he’ll have his Devan Straub moment after a few years of hard work.

I think this is great. Good scorer, good worker, local, not taking an athletic scholarship. Very happy with this commitment.

Well, some walk on will probably have to leave the team, or be exclusively practice players. Roster can only be 15, and 13 are scholly players, so only two walk ons. Right now, we have Tichenor and Gelhausen as current walk ons, and several more want Bobe to stay as a walk on, and with Myers coming in, that could potentially be four walk ons, or two over the limit. So, who would you be telling that they can’t dress on game day?
I know a lot are excited about this commitment, unfortunately, I’m not as much.

I highly doubt he had any offers. People getting excited over this announcement don’t know a whole lot about basketball. Nice kid, hard worker, very bright but remember he’s racking up these numbers against middle school level talent. I could probably average 20 at EDS and I’m old.

I think evansville's all time leading scorer h.s. player playing for the Purple Aces is pretty darn cool, regardless of whether or not he's a major contributor. If he's not using a scholarship then I see nothing but a positive situation. Welcome Tyler!

All time leading scorer with a monumentally HUGE asterisk. Your comparing apples to oranges here. I’m sorry but there’s no comparison between playing in the SIAC and playing at Day School. Zero.

Nobody's saying this puts us in the tourney next year. Relax.

I am relaxed. Just funny how some are acting like it’s a big time commitment.

No one said anything suggesting this is a big time commitment.
