2009-2010 Player Bios: Tyrel Adams

Coach Reed On:

#33 Tyrel Adams: "He is improving in all areas and he is more acclimated to the University, to my coaching, to his teammates, and he is more confident and experienced this season. He will be better shooting the ball from 15 feet and he works hard with the other big men and is improved offensively and defending inside this year. He will graduate in December and is a smart player that will help make Kene (Anusionwu) and Albert Abrahams better players."

Born July 28, 1987 in Sullivan, Missouri

Parents: Nancy and Larry Adams - Brothers: Nick Adams 32, Timmy Wilkinson 34, R.J. age 24

Why did you chose B-CU? "I chose B-CU because I had always had ambitions to play Division I basketball. I tell my family that people who are sensitive and do not want the best brought out of them - shouldn't come to B-CU. I feel that I have matured here in the last 2 years more than I did at my previous school."

If You Were Putting Together a 5-on-5 pickup game of any basketball players in the world - who would be your teammates (not any current B-CU Players)? "I would first choose my step brother because I would know that no matter what happens he will always have my back. And I would choose Kevin Garnett because he is my favorite player. Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo because they play so well together."

After B-CU? "To be living successfully and pursuing a career in law enforcement and living on the farm."
