March '20 Background Story


“It’s definitely been a goal of mine for quite some time that I’ve worked hard to get,” Taylor said. “While it’s disappointing to have it be canceled, I understand the health concerns and the need to take precautions with all that is going on.”

Impressive for a young man to have this level of understanding when he just achieved a high level goal like that. Interested to watch his progression.

6 schools currently prioritizing Taylor.

Indiana: “I have stayed in consistent contact with [assistant] Coach [Kenya] Hunter and Coach [Archie] Miller, and their pitch is how they want my 2022 class to be the class that kind of turns their program back to the powerhouse it was. They talk about how they need guys who can shoot and score the ball, and how I can come in and do that automatically.”

Would be nice to get him from Virginia. This team really needs shooters to help get us over the hump!

Taylor's season is still in doubt.  St. Anne's Belfield (SAB) is a member of the League of Independent Schools and Virginia Preparatory League (VPL).  On Dec. 16, the VPL delayed a decision on winter sports until its January meeting - date unknown.  Public schools in Virginia (Tyler Nickel) opened their seasons last week but it remains to be seen what the VPL will do.  A great many of the prep schools are boarding schools; however, SAB is a "day school" and thus cannot provide any "bubble atmosphere".

Update from Rivals.     Also in the article is news he'll at least have a season.  Only 7-10 games but at least some kind of season which is better than it sounded a month ago.

Indiana: “I talk with coach (Archie) Miller, and also (assistant) coach (Kenya) Hunter, who came over from UConn. I think I could fit well into their program. They have a 3-guard system, so I would definitely get time there. They’re trying to rebuild their program back to where it was and they see me as a central figure in that.”

If Archie wants to put in the groundwork here, ok sure. But, like Jordan Longino, I’ll believe a kid turns down an offer from his national championship winning, legendary local coach when I see it.

Recruiting update from Stockrisers -

What’s Indiana’s staff pitching to you as far as playstyle?

“With Indiana, I could play a three-guard offense where they’re running off a lot of screens which would definitely complement my game and style of play.”
