IPFW - will sit out a year and be eligible in fall 2016
GOOD luck to XT - but he does say some very interesting things...that many things from his background and the stress fracture he had last fall played big parts in his troubled first two years at college but now he's ready to put that behind him.
He has been a near-straight-A student - good job XT!
"...got off to a slow start after he suffered a stress fracture leading into this past season.
He saw his playing time nearly cut in half ...
I've had a bad past, a bad history in my life," Taylor said. "When I decided to leave high school
and come to college, a lot of people didn't believe in me. They didn't think that I was ready for (college)."
...He's had family members involved with gangs, while he also flirted with joining one. As a young teen,
Taylor was adrift, as so many young people in similar situations find themselves.
"I have done things in my life that I am not proud of," Taylor explained. "I'm still learning as a man."
"The mistakes, the choices and the decisions that I've made in my life," Taylor said, "good or bad,
they really have made me the person that I am today. I am a strong-minded, hard-working person.
I believe that nothing is handed to you."
He is the 5th player from the 2014-15 team who has landed at another DI school (XT, Omari, Fields, Cunningham, Wells) and one landed at DII (Morgan)
