Saw the kid last week, sure is fast....... bit of a prima donna though..... didn't warm up that much with the team , he knows he's the man.

Most likely the only High School kid I will see this year that has a good shot at being in the NFL in a few years.
@kramr you couldn't be further from the truth. This kid is one of the most humble players out there. No question he knows he's talented, but he is a great team player.
It's Aloha....not "Aloha!" Â as in hello or goodbye in Hawaii.......and it's Aloha OR. not Beaverton Or. Â C'mon ESPN, get it right.
The defense on both teams where MIA. But Tyner's smokin' feet were really HOT-TO-TROT! Way to go, TT!
83-64... Sounds like basketball.
