Top-50 junior Ty Rodgers discusses his recruitment
Grand Blanc’s Ty Rodgers has received praise from people all over the country, especially in Michigan. Miles Bridges, a current member of the Charlotte Hornets, has publicly praised the super talented and skilled 6-foot-6 prospect.
Rodgers is rated amongst the Top-75 juniors in the country and is just 16-years-old but is expected to have an immediate impact and major role with Grand Blanc this season due to the fact they’ve lost several seniors, causing Rodgers to be inserted into the lead role as a junior.
