WR Tyren Johnson?

_ Hate to be a pessimist BUT.....

I'll bet money, or anything else for that matter that the kid never hits the playing field. Maybe he was just joking about the comment he made, I'm not sure but "I chose basketball because its just easier".

YAH, that kid will work hard for his team .
I've heard of the basketball team's motivation to work out and work hard in the offseason. They go through the motions in the weight room and they don't take it seriously. Because he is an athlete he will probably come in with a chip on his shoulder and not take it seriously.

I hope I'm wrong and he becomes a hell of an asset but...Anyone a gambling man? _

Depends on your interpretation of 'easy'. You interpret it to mean "don't have to work as hard." Judging from what I've heard about TJ, I think he meant something more like "doesn't take as much of a toll on your body."

_ I've watched Tyren Johnson all season be the only player to show consistency: good attitude, work ethic, and performance for that basketball team. THE ONLY ONE. I don't doubt his effort one bit. _

No doubt. He has been the player of the season/most improved player/mvp up to this point.

I totally forgot that Blaine transferred. I knew he was from Edgard/Paulina because I used to work around there but forgot about that.

Tyren is the only player on this team to make significant improvements over each of the past four years. He puts in more work on his own outside of practice than anyone else on this team, and that's doing drills and not just playing pickup games.

As of today, coach Bustle had not heard that Tyren would try to play football.

Tyren is not thinking of football right now as he still believes he can lead the basketball team to have some degree of success.

I took it completely differently, I took it as that he was better at basketball, but may have had more passion for football. The game of basketball came easier to him than football did. Still, his physical attributes are too good for the football team to ignore. As long as he gains even a decent knowledge of the playbook, he could seriously be a difference maker.

You have no idea how hard Tyren Johnson works for his team. His attitude is outstanding. He has put as much work in as any Cajun athlete on campus right now. There is no way he could have improved as much in four years without effort. Were you to go to a basketball game, you would see this. He may not always play well but he always plays hard. If everyone on the team worked as hard as he did, they would have a winning record now.

I would be surprised if Tyren Johnson is not playing pro ball somewhere next year.

Has anybody heard of someone doing this?????? He coaches in Lafayette!!!!

Mike, I wasn't saying Tyren was going to play football.

In fact, Tyren told me on Friday that he's totally focused on basketball and should be. Quite a lot has happened since August when he told me about his possible interest in football. People overlook the fact he gave a 70 percent chance of playing football at the time. He's improved enough since last season to get a shot at playing pro basketball somewhere after this season.

Tyren is not thinking of football right now as he still believes he can lead the basketball team to have some degree of success.
