2020 6'8 PF Elijah Taylor (Offer)

[UConnStats]

UConn offers a scholarship to the second Team Final player in the last 24 hours. This time to Elijah Taylor. He's a 4 and can play some 5 but is only 6'8.

EYBL Stats (13 GP): 11.5 PPG, 61.5% FG, 63% FT, 2/3 3PT, 7.3 RPG, 1.1 BLK in 21.8 Min/G.

247 has him 150th, but IMO he looks as good as many other 4 star players at his position. He's not tall, but he's athletic and very strong for his age.

Georgia and Florida also offered this week. Other notable offers: Tenn, Cincy, SHU, Pitt, PSU,

Offers are more important than ##s. Gotta think the recruiting sites will catch up end of summer

Recruiting guys said he was a standout at the PhillyLive event this past weekend. Has two top tier SEC offers this past week. I'd say yes

Same high school as Fatts Russell, whose step father is an assistant coach there.

Kid plays ANGRY too. I think he can play the 5, he’s bulky and fairly long. Love this kid.

 

[UconnU]

is his stock rising?

Yes. Very much. He’s looked great on circuit.

 

[UconnU]

This is from last year. He’s even bigger and meaner now.

Jeff Adrien 2.0 if he bulks up a bit more?

 

[mauconnfan]

Like this guy a lot.

Will people on this board EVER realize that rankings don’t mean squat??? We are not gonna get the one and done guys. That eliminates 10-15 guys per year. After that, I’m more than willing to let OUR COACHING STAFF who has actually been doing this in practice for many years, evaluate talent over a few fat newspaper reporters that exist only to hold Coach K and Calimari’s junk.

 

[UconnU]

Might be my new favorite 2020 recruit. Love his athleticism for his size. Something we’ve been lacking at the 5.

 

[UconnU]

Jeff Adrien 2.0 if he bulks up a bit more?

He’s a little taller and a lot longer than adrien. He’s closer to Oriahkis size, he plays center for the high school and ASU teams.

Didn’t Adrien have a super long wingspan or am I not remembering right?

 

[superjohn]

Didn’t Adrien have a super long wingspan or am I not remembering right?

Yes, huge wingspan (7'2)

 

[UconnU]

Yes, huge wingspan (7'2)

I meant to say he’s a lot taller and a little longer. He’s a legit center, adrien was like 6’5

 

[bendm]

good guys didn't make his Top 6: PC, VCU, Notre dame, seton, florida, and pitt

 

[UConnStats]

He’s going to be like Tyrique Jones. Afterthought to us but will year it up as a 4 year college player.

 

[dennismenace]

Think he was 6-6 with a 7.0 wingspan. Long.

 

[Towney007]

OMG I love this kid.

 

[mauconnfan]

OMG I love this kid.

Yeah huh? Answers a lot of questions the way he plays.

 

[CL82]

Love the toughness. This kid has an intimidating presence on the court. It's been a while since we've had a big like that.

(No disrespect to Carlton.)
