VT Target Tyshawn Taylor Leaps Up Rivals.com Rankings

The Hokie’s quest to have a T. Taylor leading their football and basketball teams continues as Tech continues to recruit 2008 point guard prospect Tyshawn Taylor from Jersey City, NJ. Taylor was a marquette signee but has since been granted a release from his letter of intent with former marquette Head Coach Tom Crean moving to indiana. VT is considered one of five schools in serious contention, including 2008 National Champs kansas.

Taylor had been considered a three-star recruit and #101 overall in the Class of 2008 by Rivals.com but was bumped up to a four-star ranking, #77 overall, and the #11 point guard in their newest ratings.

At this point, it is unknown how Virginia Tech could take him. VT is currently maxing out all 13 scholarships for next year based on returning players and the three signees they have coming in for next season. Someone would have to transfer, quit the program, get a medical waiver (keep a scholarship but it doesn’t count against your 13 since they are unable to play due to medical conditions), or a recruit will have to not enroll.
