Tyler Forrest | 2027 | D1 Minnesota | 6’3” Tyler Forrest is a strong, crafty lead guard who consistently plays under control and dictates the pace with an advanced change of speed. He gets into the paint with ease, using polished footwork, patience, and touch to finish through traffic with floaters and creative finishes. Once the defense collapses, he’s an unselfish playmaker who makes the right read and delivers easy scoring opportunities for teammates. His impact extends well beyond scoring, as he fills the stat sheet with his rebounding, defensive activity, and all-around versatility on both ends of the floor. @3SSBCircuit @adidasD1MN @Tmoneyhoopz @SportsPassports #ScopeScouting #3SSBCircuit
