Jeremy Tyler ('91) started last week-end his new experience in israelian league with a really tough game. The new american power-forward of Maccabi Haifa left San Diego HS this summer to sign his first professional contract in Europe to grow up and follow Brandon Jennings steps. But his debut wasn't good. Maccabi Tel-Aviv was too tough for Haifa team, beating them on the road 68-76. Tyler started the game, but only played 10 minutes: 1 point (0/1 FG and 1/2 FT), 2 rebounds, 1 turnover and 2 fouls.

Important will be the group of americans of his team to build him as a person and as a player: Jason Rich ('86), Davon Jefferson ('86), Jesse Pellot-Rosa ('84), Todd Golden ('85) and Ben Strong ('86).
