Player: Tyler Rolison
Height: 6’1
Class: 2023
School: St. Bernard
Phenom Hoops was tuned in to watch the Ron Massey Memorial Fall League and 2023 Tyler Rolison was one that stole the show on Day 1. He was able to show his scoring power but also remind everyone that he is more than a scorer. We had this to say after watching Rolison at the event”
“Rolison was unbelievable in what he was able to do on the court. We haven’t seen too much of him, but we quickly realized that he is wired to score and can fill it up in a hurry. Rolison did everything on the floor; being a dynamic scorer, terrific playmaker in transition, showing his range with his perimeter shot, and how electric he can be in the open floor. Loved his ability to find his teammates and make terrific passes, also a very shifty ball handler. Had a terrific first half on Day 1.”
We caught up with Rolison after the event to learn more about the latest in his recruitment, as he breaks it down with us.

Phenom: How has everything been going as far as basketball for you'
Rolison: Basketball has been going well for me. Have faced some adversity while playing but that made me the player I am today. This summer, I was injured so I didn’t really get a chance to show what I could really do. This offseason, I was just getting my body back right and as of playing, I’m back to myself plus better.
