Tyler Adams to join 2011 class at Duke

Posted On: April 26, 2010 By: Cliff Comments: (more)

Post player Tyler Adams has announced that he will be attending Duke University and be part of the 2011 signing class for the Duke Blue Devils. Adams can bang down low with his 6’9 260 lb frame. Word is that Adams can still add on some muscle to that frame so expect a big boy when he arrives in Durham for the 2012 season. Adams will be able to take up a lot of space and can score multiple ways from 15 feet in his coach says. Sounds exactly the type of player Coach K needed for this class.

Adams is ranked as the 81st player in the 2011 class by Rivals and also a four star recruit.

“Tyler is a very skilled young man, especially in the low post,” said Larry Stamps, Adams’ club team coach with the Jackson Panthers. “He definitely is a low-post center, which is unusual now because a lot of the big kids like to face up. He likes to play down low and has the body to do it.”

Adams joins forward Michael Gbinije of Richmond, Va. as part of the 2011 class. Welcome aboard Mr. Adams!
