Tyson Has Early List

Don Juan Tyson, a 6'0'', 175 pound combo guard from Buffalo Traditional High School in Buffalo, New York, is a player from Western New York who hasn't gotten much recognition.

Tyson's AAU coach with the GC Ballers, Jeff Bishop, said that Providence and Siena are the most interested in the high-scoring guard. Locals Canisius and Niagara have also expressed interest.

"He can stroke it," said Bishop. "He has to work on his point guard skills. Everyone knows he can score- he scored 62 points in a game last season- people just want to know if he can run a team."

Tyson competed with the GC Ballers at the Charlie Weber Tournament in West Virginia. He was supposed to participate in the Las Vegas Big Time Tournament with Mickey Walker's Donyell Marshall Foundation, but didn't make the trip. Rivals Hoops was going to check Tyson out at The Rumble in the Bronx in June, but he didn't come downstate with the Ballers.

Tyson will compete in the Empire State Games in Syracuse this month.
