Tyshawn Taylor wants out
Written by: NY Warrior
Adam Zagoria (as always in New Jersey) breaks the news (http://njmg.typepad.com/zagsblog/2008/04/taylor-still-se.html)........After meeting with new head coach Buzz Williams last Friday, Tyshawn Taylor still wants his release from Marquette University.
Taylor has not eliminated MU -- but coach Bob Hurley indicated that a dozen other schools have inquired, and Taylor wants to take a few more visits before deciding. Hurley cited Buzz Williams' inexperience as a head coach, and the logjam in the MU backcourt as primary factors in seeking the release.
Hmmmmm. On the backcourt 'logjam' - - the backcourt was much more of a logjam back in October when Taylor verballed to MU, something he acknowledged and was apparently unconcerned with when asked (http://njmg.typepad.com/zagsblog/2007/10/taylor-to-marqu.html). Since that time, both Nick Williams and Scott Christopherson have exited the program.
Of course, Taylor's profile improved dramatically this past season when he exploded on the national scene as a vital cog on the top team in the country. It's no wonder that many other programs are now fawning over Taylor -- and that he's willing to reciprocate that interest.
As for Buzz Williams' inexperience as a head coach.....well......that sounds like the primary driver here.
