Tulsa had a visit from 6-10 big man Tyler Behrend, and he has since committed. He last played in 2021-22 at Olympic as a freshman, and I believe he has 3 years remaining. He's been in the Navy and was apparently on a ship this past year. I found a video from a week ago of him playing pick-up ball. The video says he's an overseas pro....but he was just overseas....or on the seas. :)

In his one season at Olympic, he started 25 of 28 games, averaging 14.4 points, 6.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game. He shot 47.3% from the field, 30.7% from three and 71.1% from the charity stripe. For some reason, he was dismissed from the team after that. The Olympic coach said, "He probably would have been a top-five player in the NWAC this year." Not sure if he was dismissed due to Navy deployment or something else.

In the video below, he is in the green t-shirt with his hair pulled back...hard to miss.
