Monmouth's Travis Taylor Not Heading To Boston College

Remember those two transfers that Donahue added to the BC Eagles men's basketball roster earlier this month? Well, it looks like one of those transfers - Monmouth's Travis Taylor - won't be joining the team after all.

According to several different sources, Taylor has reopened his commitment and will look to transfer to another school.

I’m hearing BC wasn’t aware that Taylor had been suspended for seven games last season for "violating team rules." Really? How do you not know that?

Anyway, the 6-foot-7 Taylor, a Union, N.J. native, will visit Xavier Tuesday and is also considering Miami, Cincinnati and Arizona State.

"Travis and his family want to utilize the three remaining official visits he has left before he makes a decision," a source with knowledge said. "Considering we’re about to enter the second live period this could drag into August."

Taylor averaged 17.8 points and 7.6 rebounds last season.

With Taylor gone, BC is back down to only 7 scholarship players for the 2011-12 season (Reggie Jackson, Dallas Elmore, Matthew Humphrey, Gabe Moton, Eddie Odio, Danny Rubin and Dennis Clifford). Donahue still has plenty of work to do on the recruiting trail.

Seriously … an extra kick in the nuts if he goes and plays for Miami.

Not to dwell on things

but brady heslip is playing overseas right now, sounds like he is good enough to play for a national team, but not for BC?

He is playing on Canada's national development team

Canada is not exactly a hotbed of basketball talent here.

Not to dwell on things?

If BCRaj were to dwell any more on guys like Heslip, Sanders and Ravenel and his obvious bias against Steve Donahue before he has coached a single game at BC, he would be a prime candidate for the couch at his local psychiatrist. Heslip is possibly going to play on the CANADIAN national team, not ours. Remember he was going to play for the 6 and16 Guelph Gryphons before he was snatched up by Skinner. I’m sure BCRaj watched Cornell dismantle a vaunted 24 and 8 Wisconsin team in the NCAA tournament 89 to 67… the same team that beat at the time Arizona, #21 Maryland, eventual national champion #6 Duke, #15 Ohio State, #4 Purdue, #5 Michigan State, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois etc. and were placed as a # 4 seed in the NCAA tournament. Wisconsin defeated 3 Top 5 ranked teams during the regular season. They didn’t lose to St. Joseph’s, Harvard for the second year in a row at BC, Rhode Island, and Maine. That’s right, I said Maine.
How did a #12 seed like Cornell beat a #4 seed like Wisconsin by a score of 89-67. It was probably the recruiting advantage Cornell had over Wisconsin. Wait a minute… I thought Duke, Maryland, Ohio State, Purdue, Michigan State had all the McDonald All-Americans and a huge recruiting advantage over Cornell. But Wisconsin beat them all… I don’t get it. BCRaj must need a sledge hammer or a really big couch. BCRaj, if you don’t drink coffee… at least start smelling it.
