Tyner was playing with Team South Carolina 11th Red.
Tyner 6’8 was one-time a Top 20 player in the Palmetto State class. Tyner today showed he for sure has to work off the rust from playing but was really humble and appreciated for another chance to make the most of his future. Prep Hoops sure does want to see Sam work things out and move onto the next level wherever that might take him.
