(2022) - SF Justin Taylor to Syracuse

[IU Scott]

I don't know why he would want to go play for a coach who is 77 and might retire anytime

[ramadden13]

Syracuse seems to have the buzz right now. But who knows. Last week everyone said IU or UNC and now IU was never in it? Seems sketch.

Maybe he doesn't want to play defense and keep his legs for offense. Kind of a perfect place for shooters since they can just sit in a 2-3 on defense and not have to guard anyone

IU players are trying at least…several in his comments for his post!

[Gnet550]

Also shared this in his story…only player from any school that I see Shared..who knows

If Justin really did only visit IU because his mom made him (and let me tell you, Cuse fans, I am SKEPTICAL), that’s low key funny. Depressing but funny.

IU takes control of the fancast on rivals

If he only went because of his mom did she make him post all of the nice stuff about  IU and coach Woodson

I don’t believe it either. That would a pretty d*ck move and he seems like a nice kid. But someone’s parent having reverence for IU and pushing them to visit would be the most IU story ever.

I’m not saying I’m confident he’s coming but the story that his mom made him visit Indiana is laughable.

There’s not much to do in Syracuse, they’ve gotta come up with stories to keep entertained.

I don't know Justin or his family, but it's not inconceivable (cue The Princess Bride) that Justin's mom nudged him to take a visit. I know other parents in similar situations have tried to help their kids make an informed by trying to broaden their horizons. The kid still makes the final decision, but the parent helps present all the best options. 

If Justin flat out didn't want to go, I doubt the trip happens. However, if Justin was just not as in to it, then I could understand the mother taking some initiative. It's possible mom thinks it's good for the kid to have additional perspectives. It's an easy trip to a historic place. Give Coach Hunter a good chance to make a final sales pitch after putting in a lot of work with the family. Learn what the coach with NBA connections has to offer. 

Again, I don't know what the case is, but these things happen.

We got the last visit which is usually a good thing, IU did the follow-up last weekend to watch him play, which is a good sign. To me it sounded like IU-UNC after the IU visit, so now it's IU-Syracuse. I'm going with IU with a 75% chance of landing him.

shall we call that a CHRIStal ball prediction?

Taylor and Filipowski would be a serious duo!!!

Extensive quotes from his mother.

Would be nice for a Taylor commitment Saturday and Flip shortly after that

Hope you’re right Chris!

I am still jaded from the past two coaching staffs. We made so many final lists of these national recruits only to come in second. I so hope I am wrong with this new staff.
