This 6’2 combo guard can play positions 1 through 3 and says he is “A silky smooth , versatile, all-around player” and compares himself to Kelly Oubre due to his shooting ability and smoothness of his game. Boonsboro coach, Andrew Dinterman, says “Tysean is a smart, hardworking player, a great teammate who is great off the dribble in all aspects.” But ball handling and playing off the dribble has not always been his strength as he says it is what he worked on leading to his senior season which benefitted him greatly. This offseason, he plays to work on rebounding, passing ability, consistency in his three ball and plans to hit the weight room hard.
Tysean has a very smooth rhythm to his game that can easily lead his team. Great off the dribble, he penetrates the lane well but also has a smooth pull up and three point shot. Although he has certain aspects to improve on, his game translates well to the next level where he wants to play.

Hanna has had unofficial visits at Frostburg, Hood, Morgan State and Stevenson. Tysean also says he is interested in Coppin State, and has been attempting to get in talks with the program.
Tysean says he would like to play at the D1 or D2 level, but he is open to all options including D3, Juco, or Prep to improve his game and attempt to receive higher level interest.
He is currently keeping all his options open and is says he is looking for “a school with a great basketball program, nice campus & coaches he will have the ability to connect with.” Of the court, Ty plans to major in sport management.
Hanna has no current timetable on a planned commitment as he focuses on getting better and receiving more exposure.
