The next time South Dakota State sees Forrest they are going to be happy because they won’t be worrying about needing to get him physically ready for next year, Forrest has added a ton of muscle and looks to have the fourth year college build already at this point. And Forrest went through the small Redhawk guards pretty much how you would expect a 6’3, 190 pound senior to move right three 5’10, 160 pound younger players. Tyler had five first half scores and a three.

Opened the second half with three attacking baskets and a three (his second of the game). Put the game away with foul shots makes giving Chaska the win. Had ten scores overall.

Tyler simply made it look easy at times as he carved up the Minnehaha Academy defense in a win for Chaska. We typically see Tyler in more of a facilitator role as a true point guard, but with Chaska missing some key players he helped pick up for some of the lost scoring production. Tyler’s change of speed on the ball, as well as his ability to use his frame to bump smaller guards off him as he attacked the basket allowed him to rack up lay-ups throughout the game. Tyler consistently got two feet in the paint to either finish on his own or create an open shooter out on the perimeter.

Forrest committed to South Dakota State recently. In 2023 I called Forrest the top incoming Freshman in Minnesota and Forrest was coming off starting at Chaska his entire 8th grade year.

Tyler Forrest Tyler Forrest 6'3" | PG Chaska | 2027 State MN is a six-foot-three-inch 2027 4A State Champion Chaska guard that played with D1 Minnesota 3SSB and is committed to South Dakota State. Forrest plays the point guard position with fantastic pace and is a guard that can really get everyone involved offensively while being a high-level POA defender. Forrest looks to be playing the game faster and with more pace and his jump shot looks less like a set shot and more fluid than a year ago.

Tyler was a perfect fit for D1 Minnesota . He handled when Malachi and Deon were in scoring roles, he played off the ball when they had the ball and Tyler scored some, he was the perfect passer and decision maker for a team full of scoring options, and Tyler was a top defender. Several division one programs offered Tyler who was a big part in D1 making the Adidas semi-finals.

The pass first, hard working defender, state championship point guard recently added the scholarship option to state home and play for St. Thomas. In addition, Tyler also added July scholarship offers from South Dakota State, North Dakota, and Sam Houston State to go with an offer from Ohio. Forest now has a very strong group of schools to pick from as visits start in later August (although visits can happen this week as well).
