ROCK HILL, S.C. — Tyler Bailey was able to see what life was like having complete freedom and expand his role last year.

The junior guard played his first year and a half at famed Mouth of Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy, but then transferred back home to Winston-Salem (N.C.) Mount Tabor. He went on a torrid scoring stretch at Mount Tabor into the playoffs and carried it over to Team Loaded VA 16s in traveling team ball.
