Jeremy Tyler has been playing abroad in Israel for three months now, after he de-committed from Louisville and skipped out on his senior season at San Diego High. Yeah, we thought the prom was pretty lame too.

He signed with Maccabi Haifa for $140,000. Alas, as The New York Times’ Pete Thamel reports:

His coach calls him lazy and out of shape. The team captain says he is soft. His teammates say he needs to learn to shut up and show up on time. He has no friends on the team. In extensive interviews with Tyler, his teammates, coaches, his father and advisers, the consensus is that he is so naïve and immature that he has no idea how naïve and immature he is. So enamored with his vast potential, Tyler has not developed the work ethic necessary to tap it.

“I only make history if I succeed. I didn’t come here to fail,” Tyler, sounding both frustrated and determined, said after playing a scoreless 4 minutes in a Haifa victory this week.
