He is expected to return in two years, when he is projected to be a top pick, if not the No. 1 pick, in the 2011 N.B.A. draft.<\/p>\n<p>Tyler, who had orally committed to play for Rick Pitino at Louisville, has yet to sign with an agent or a professional team. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"smaller\">&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2009\/04\/23\/sports\/ncaabasketball\/23prospect.html\">Basketball Prospect Leaving High School to Play in Europe<\/a>&#8221; by Pete Thamel, Published April 22, 2009, <em>The New York Times<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/orally\">M-W.com defines orally<\/a> as &#8220;uttered by the mouth or in words : spoken&#8221; but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbandictionary.com\/define.php?term=oral\">given the connotations<\/a> wouldn&#8217;t <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/verbally\">verbally<\/a> (spoken rather than written) have been a better choice?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was browsing nytimes.com last night and ran across this headline &#8220;Basketball Prospect Leaving High School to Play in Europe&#8221; and because I&#8217;m curious I followed it through to the article where nytimes.com proved once again that even The New York Times needs editors.
