Tyshawn Taylor to seek release from MU

Written by: NY Warrior

Zagoria talks to Bob Hurley, Taylor's coach, in his latest blog.

No surprise, though MU is not obligated to release Taylor or any member of the 2009 class from their binding LOIs.  In the past under Bill Cords, MU did not honor these requests  - - - but times have changed.

In fairness, the actual quote from Hurley is:

"I would like the opportunity to have him released from his scholarship in the event that we don't like who's hired"

That implies that any new coach would still have the opportunity to re-recruit Taylor and convince him that the new staff would be a good fit.

Regardless, it's time for quick, decisive action from Marquette in the face of these shocking developments.

I just don't get the "we" aspect.  Just in case "we" don't like who gets hired.  Shows you how much student athletes rely upon their high school coaches as mentors. In the current recruiting process, univeristy has to convince the athlete himself, his family, his AAU coach and high school coach.
