Tyler Hood-Samford Bound 

Does it not seem like the commitments come in waves when the ice is first broken.

Maybe the guys are waiting for one to make the move then they feel comfortable and the flood gates open.

The Class of 2010 received its 10^th commitment and fourth this week as talented forward Tyler Hood (Lenoir City) ended his recruitment and pledged his wares to Southern Conference upstart Samford.

Hood, who played his summer hoops with the Tennessee Travelers, was a hot commodity this summer with his unusual length and strong fundamental skill set. The 6'6 talent does most of his damage with the face up and short dribble drive but can use his array of post moves to score or drop a short jumper if left open.

Samford, which is located in Birmingham, is coached by Jimmy Tillette secures their second Tennessee prepstar in the past two years. If you recall Gregg Wooten (Braircrest Christian) will suit up as a freshman for the Bulldogs this season.

Congrats to Tyler and good luck on a superb senior campaign.
