Chances He Becomes An Eagle:
Right now the chances that Taylor could be coming to Boston College are pretty strong. According to reports he lists Boston College as his top choice. BC doesn't have much established depth coming up at wide receiver. Taylor would be coming here after Colin Larmond Jr. graduates and Alex Amidon, Jonathan Coleman and Bobby Swigert would only be around for one more season. Of course BC also could provide him with a world class education.
However BC does have a few things going against them in their recruitment of Taylor. First of all Ryan Day was the lead recruiter, and he has left the program to become Offensive Coordinator at Temple. Secondly, some of the Florida schools (UF, FSU and Miami) are starting to show interest in Taylor, which doesn't bode well for Eagles. If BC wants to get Taylor, they are going to need to push hard, and try to get an early commitment or else risk losing him to another BCS power.
