‘I just play basketball': Much-ballyhooed prep player ignores the hype

Jeremy Tyler wasn't even out of junior high school when he was ranked as the best player in his class by a basketball recruiting Web site.

Over the years, Tyler continues to get better, and the rankings are still there for the 6-foot-10 sophomore from San Diego High School. Tyler is currently ranked No. 1 in the nation among sophomore players by Scout.com and Rivals.com. He has also garnered accolades from ESPN.com and The Sporting News, being ranked among the top underclassmen in the nation.
