Jacquil Taylor 2014 PF (Off the Board)

Postby TheHall » Sat Sep 14, 2013 2:02 pm

Dude is under the radar as a 3* recruit but that will change over his senior year...Per The Undercover Friar:
2014 F Jaquil Taylor is down to Providence, Purdue, St. Joe's, & NC A&T. He will take officials to each

Jacquil Taylor of Beaver Country Day School (MA) has long been on the brink of breaking out, the 2012-2013 season was tagged his year, that plan was cut short due to him being injured early on in his junior year. With months of rehab and handwork he is now one of the best Power Forwards available.

In his own words earlier this month:
I am back in business! I can finally play basketball again!! god is good!

I don't know if Taylor is a backup plan to Bentil or just a straight up priority for camp Cooley, but either he's on the board so go get em prov.

From Friarbasketball.com:
Expressions Elite AAU coach Ty Boswell reported on his Hoop Dreams Magazine website that 2014 power forward Jacquil Taylor will officially visit Providence on Oct. 12 and 13. The left handed Taylor is a slender 6’9 shot blocker out of Beaver Country Day School who has been out of commission since last January when he suffered a gruesome foot injury in a win over Worcester Academy. Taylor is the New England Recruiting Report’s 8th rated player in New England (one spot behind PC commit Paschal Chukwu) and 5th in Massachusetts. How high Taylor’s stock might have risen had he finished out his junior season and played with Expressions at the EYBL is anyone’s guess, but Providence has been in pursuit of him for some time.

FYI -- The NC A&T thing is because his brother is at that school right now.

Now that Paul White has committed to gtown it may clear the way for prov with it's other target at PF 4* Ben Bentil. I wonder which one is a better fit for prov, the top100 recruit or the 3* sleeper...

As a friar fan I would be happy with either one. With Batts graduating playing time will be there for the taking. Great pickup for the Hoyas. Can't wait for the season to start.

Fast-forward to his senior year, he has now scheduled his official visits, Purdue September 28-29, Providence October 12-13, St Joseph October 19-20 NC A&T November 2-3.

Prov visit date was confirmed already but it's interesting to see how long Taylor plans his recruitment process to go. Like BJ said earlier his brother goes to NC A&T so it's hard to believe he won't still be undeclared in Nov and not take that scheduled visit.

Now that Bentil has committed to Prov, Taylor is moving on. Insightful comment from Mo Taylor, Jaquil's dad:

"Jacquil is down to 3 schools as PC Takes PF out of DE. Hopefully he has time to choose between Purdue St. Joe's and NCAT....Much respect to Coach Cooley for his candid honesty. Got to understand this a business."
