He committed to Wisconsin, but was just arrested and charged with burglary-

He was dismissed from Wisconsin's team, and has now left school.

Reports from Wisconsin are that Illinois State and Evansville were the first 2 schools to call and start recruiting Taylor.http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/highschool/chi-08-bolingbrook-taylorsep08,0,790323.story

I think you can "book it". ISU would DEFINATELY Jank a scholarship for him.

pretty amazing....the SIU board is absolutely lit up over the possibility of landing Diamond Taylor, who was just dismissed from Wisconsin after gettin arrested for burglary.....g
so just how deep is the lust for talent no matter what?

they even link to Taylor's arrest record

I have a feeling he's the type that got caught up in being a semi-celebrity there (he felt like it probably even if he wasn't one) and let things get out of hand...with peer pressure etc. I think he's probably learned his lesson and won't do it again. I'd be happy if BU ended up with DT. If he goes to any other school though...I hope he steals all their stuff.

 

[Braves4Life]

Let's hope if he ends up at SIU that they aren't able to "steal" a win when they come to town:lol:

 

[Bradleyguy10]

I bet he doesn't even end up in the MVC. He's still a good player and when has criminal activity ever stopped BCS schools from recruiting players....?

the SIU message boarders seem to know something...
they are all buzzing about getting Diamond Taylor as a transfer, with four full seasons of eligibility.

Unfortunately, he won't be eligible until midseason of 2010-2011, so he really will get only 3 1/2 yrs if they are bold enough and desperate enough
(with Lowery facing a potential of a 3rd bconisecutive bad year) to land their 2nd player facing felony charges at the same time!

Looks like Diamond Taylor will be choosing SIU to transfer to.
However, he still has a couple felony charges to deal with in Madison, WI.

I really thought isu would get Taylor, but not shocked to see him land SIU!
