Diamond Taylor

[KillerB]

It's official.
Diamond Taylor has enrolled at SIUC.

[BradleyBrave]

He'll be arrested within the next year.

I would take the risk also

I don't know his background, but if he had no troubles before this I also would be willing to give a one time second chance. He may be just what he looks like in Madison or maybe he made one mistake.
Unfortunately a school with a good reputation for players staying out of trouble would be the place to go. SIU doesn't appear to be that school right now. I hope for his sake he learned his lesson.

It looks like some people here really do have "insider" information.

back on Sept 23 Paul Klee predicted Taylor was going to end up at SIU...long before anyone at salukitalk had a clue
and Bradley fans had discussions as to that possibility as much as almost a week earlier...
hmm...given the context of all the troubled kids that were brought into Binghamton and how it caused that whole program to implode...some were wondering if SIU would dare take that chance...

Recall, when asked by the police why he did the breaking and entering and burglary....Taylor blamed it all on getting drunk and making bad decisions...

Lowery must have immediately said... "that's our guy!"

The Salukis are a bit like the Island of Misfit Toys, aren't they?

[SFP]

Come on Indy_BB I like the misfits and Lowery is no King Lion!

I can see the newspaper catch phrases now..."SIUC gets a 'Diamond' in the rough"...rough of course referring to....well you know.

[DUBrave5]

Haha just dawned on me that Diamond graduated from my old high school. Yet another Bolingbrook athlete that doesn't pan out in college.

or if Taylor D. had been at SIU a couple years ago and BU had won on a charging call...
"BU wins on Diamond into Ruff"

[SFP]

I for one hope he has learned his lesson and does not see that just because he has a talent he can do whatever he wants. The Wisc. situation should be a huge wake up call. I'm also glad that BU passes on these types of players. I'm all for giving a guy an opportunity but they need to earn it and maintain it. Ou society is way to much into giving people the sense of entitlements. This needs to be stopped!

I for one have never logged on to salukitalk or any other saluki website.

High risk-high reward??? I know where you are coming from LC, but my thinking here is that SIU already has another player with legal problems. As things stand now,by taking a shot on Taylor, they are in reality taking a shot on 2 players with legal problems which could hurt the team when all is said and done.
