Tyler Roberson, one of the top small forwards in the Class of 2013 out of Roselle (N.J.) Catholic, will be contributing periodically to ZAGSBLOG during his junior season. Here’s his third entry:
Since I last wrote I’ve been pretty busy with school, SATs and AAU.
My AAU team, the Roadrunners, has been doing a lot of traveling lately (Philly Jamfest and Pittsburgh Jamfest). We had some disappointing losses and didn’t do as well as we would have liked but it was still nice to take the trip out there and play against some of the great competition that was at each of the tournaments.
This past weekend, on May 5th, I had the honor of participating in the Mary Kline Classic, a game put together by Alex Kline that is to raise money for cancer research. I played for the Red Team, and even though we lost, I enjoyed having the chance to play for such a good cause, and play with and against a lot of talented players.
The recruiting process has been the same as it has been the past few months as I haven’t had an opportunity to put as much time towards looking at schools as I would like, but in a month or so I plan on putting a lot more energy into seeing exactly where I would like to play in college.
Like I said, this summer I plan on taking my first few official visits to some schools and will be going to several camps. I’m just looking forward to developing and strengthening my game.
It’s going to be a busy summer, and I’m going to have to work hard and often, but I also know it’s going to be a lot of fun.
