Prep standout Jeremy Tyler is set to sign with Maccabi Haifa, which finished in second place in Israel’s top division last season.
We are very close," said Sonny Vaccaro, an adviser to Tyler. "Everyone is in agreement. His agents need to formalize everything."
The 6-foot-11 prospect from San Diego is set to become the first player to quit high school to play basketball professionally outside the US.
Tyler had originally committed to Louisville, but instead took the road of Brandon Jennings, who played in Rome last season and became the No. 10 pick in the N.B.A. draft.
The 18-year-old will play two seasons overseas before being eligible for the 2011 draft, and will team with the former Southern California forward Davon Jefferson, who starred for the team last season as it finished as a runner-up to the traditional power Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"It's a good situation," Tyler said in a phone interview, "but I'm not sure at this point."
