Profile:
Taylor has established himself as the top senior player in the metro east this season. The Collinsville point guard is an exciting lead guard that can score with the best of them! Taylor did it last year as a junior and returns most of his supporting cast. This summer with Gateway Illinois he proved he could compete against the best of the best on the PrepHoops Circuit.
Odds to Win:
20/1
Why He Can Win:
Taylor will be the darling of the metro east this season if he does what we expect. Exciting point guard that will post big numbers from the jump. He will also have the opportunity in the Collinsville Holiday Tournament as well as the various shootouts to have his signature moment against other top Mr. Basketball candidates.
Obstacles to Win:
Nobody in the northern part of the state knows who Taylor is heading into the season. That might have been similar in some respects to Liddell at the beginning of his junior year other than to hardcore recruiting fans. If he knocks off some of the Chicago teams in shootouts and makes a run in March they will know his name!
