Tyshon pickett is a player !!!!

He plays with passion and won't give up --
there's gonna be games that he won't put up those numbers but I still appreciate what he brings...
but ps...TP - there's no need to do the touchdown dance after scoring...

BTW -- Tyshon got a little press back home on the east coast!

[real fan]

Plays with great energy, never looked like he was tired at any time during the game last night, has a great knack for the ball and good hands when he secures a rebound, like his footwork in the post and his quick release when he receives the ball, definitely a difference maker.

It my first time seeing him play, but just wow. His energy and enthusiasm alone is priceless and is one thing that's been missing for a long time. The closest thing I can compare him too is Dwayne Funches, but he needs no comparison. I think it took him all of 10 minutes to make me a believer.

most will recall that last year our staff was pursuing Coty Clarke - but when Clarke decided to postpone deciding then our guys turned their attention to Tyshon...

For those who'd like to see the early threads on TP -- you'll see that the astute Bradley fans knew this is exactly what we need!
Every comment I have been able to find on this board on Tyshon is POSITIVE!!

We lucked out here! TP is just fantastic, Yes its gonna get a lot harder on him, But I think hes just the gamer to take on any thing anyone has to throw at him and to prepare for it, we have solid bigs to throw at him in practice! We just have to keep getting better at getting our bigs the ball, When he is matched up against bigger defenders hopefully he will get to the line even more! I like him at the line too! People are gonna look real stupid if we stay healthy no way we finish 9th!

I agree, but we can't use injuries as an excuse. Didn't work before.

Teams that are built properly with depth at multiple positions can survive the injury bug/jinx. Our past several teams had no depth at key positions so injuries each year essentially ended our season early. Thankfully, it appears that Geno is building this thing the right way and recruiting depth and competitiveness at each position... The future looks bright!
