Justin Taylor transferring to JMU

I won't pretend to know the guy outside of who he was on the court, but I wish him well. It was tough watching him struggle the way he did, but he didn't give up on the team and there's something to be said for that. I can easily see him thriving at a smaller program.

I'll never get the students booing one of their own, aside from the fact that college kids are idiots (I should know, I was one).
 
I'm convinced Justin's issues this year were more mental than physical. He got a case of the yips that he just couldn't overcome. He shot 39% from deep last year and 76% from the line. This year was 30% and 65%.

A fresh start with a brand new (small) fanbase that isn't as intense as ours will be great for him.
 
he certainly had his chance here. just wasn't clicking. he'll be a better fit someplace else.

I wonder if his shot issues are more mental or physical. There hasn’t been an injury reported or hinted by anyone that I can remember.

JT does have a very muscular build. Didn’t JT gain a lot of muscle last offseason?

Best of luck JT. I never questioned your effort and always appreciated you battling taller opponents for boards. You’ll always be Orange!

Interesting this guy received a text in January, along with some other names scratched off, about this -

Interesting to note, it was the day after Q's buzzer beating vs Miami.

We followed that up going 3 of 4 with arguably 3 of our worst losses (Fla St at home, at BC, getting creamed by Wake).
 
Lots of kids have transferred out while having a gf at cuse still. Quincy Gurrier, Frank Anselem, Jesse Edwards, Joe Girard in recent memory

I don’t know about the first 3 but Girards GF went with him. I believe she had graduated too. She may be in grad school at Clemson.

Quincy Gurrier’s gf/fiance still lives in Cuse i believe. Frank Anslem’s gf was a cheerleader or on dance team when he transferred, Jesse Edwards gf is on staff for cuse field hockey or something?
