Class of 2022 SG/SF Justin Taylor (VA / IMG) COMMITTED/SIGNED TO SYRACUSE

[JonB]

What I like most about Taylor is that I’m pretty sure that he was responsible for getting Copeland, Mintz, brown, and possibly bunch too. Maybe also keeping Williams here. In a year he might be your team captain. Seems like everyone likes him. I think he will be a an all-time favorite.

100 percent right. By all accounts, JT was an active "recruiter" in talking up SU for this 2022 class. Nice young man.

JT is on the way...

These prep school kids get a nice head start. Traditional high school kids never finished until mid to late June and didn't show up on campus until maybe after July 4th weekend. Good luck guys. I think JT is going to be a very solid contributor of the 2022-23 Syracuse Orangemen.

Physically he looks much more like a jr/Sr than a frosh.

Is Bunch guarding him in one of those shots?

No

That’s Armann Franklin and Kehei Clark from UVA. He trains with UVA guys sometimes.

This kid is going to start along side Benny at Foward!

Can this kid board and cover ground on D? Legit question. Not worried about his offense at the moment.

He’s already more athletic coming in as a Frosh, than Buddy leaving as a Sr.

Much more physical and explosive.

I think a taller Cooney is a better comp than Buddy, in spite of their uncanny resemblance.
Coon-dog was a very good athlete, and become a solid defender for us.
Let’s hope JT does the same, only much faster.

In the games I watched, he very rarely grabbed any boards, but I think bees had said he’s a good rebounder and I just caught all the wrong games so who knows lol.

Secretly hoping JT develops into Tyler Herro

Southern and I think Cali schools get out in May. Also, in Cali, soccer is a spring sport, so it doesn't compete with FB for players

Here in San Diego, my nephews get out mid June.

Sorry. That's wrong. They finish June 3.

No doubt some states are on a different calendar but do you ever remember basketball recruits being on campus before Memorial Day. Can't wait to hear the comments from the Boeheim's Army guys.

Yeah, these guys seem legit psyched to play together, and to play for Cuse.

Here’s hoping they build great chemistry this summer, and it carries thru the entire season.

And Benny is part of them. Last year I just think he was a fish out of water and never felt comfortable. This year he has his homeboys with him, and he is ready to ball.

looks like he'll be able to score and shoot

Hopefully not as that means he shrinks 2 inches and 10 lbs...

One of Taylor’s trainers in Charlottesville who I think works with Brown too along with some UVA and Nova players.
