85_Rebel Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 He is the equivalent of a HS Larry Bird in my opinion. Love watching him play and a privilege for my son to play AAU with him for 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love watching him play and a privilege for my son to play AAU with him for 2 years. That's quite the compliment. Andrew is a tremendous young man and such a heady basketball player. The Paladins have gotten them a dandy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Friction Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Andrew is following in the footsteps of another Corbin great, Frank Selvy, who once scored 100 points in a game for Furman University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4chs Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Andrew is following in the footsteps of another Corbin great, Frank Selvy, who once scored 100 points in a game for Furman University. There were actually a few Corbin players who have played at Furman, including Jerry Smith, who I believe is in their Hall of Fame and Gus Hauser, who went their on a tennis scholarship and also ended up playing basketball.

2-3-Zone Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Ive heard rumors of him going to prep school this upcoming year. Will he be playing for the red hounds this season or not? Congrats Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats Andrew. I would be shocked if Andrew didn't play for Corbin this year. I think he and his family absolutely love the school, plus his younger brother plays bball there as well. Doesn't make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC99 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The article said he had over 30 offers, who else was offering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Friction Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 LC99, A few of the ones off the top of my head are: Eastern Kentucky, Appalachian State, Winthrop, Furman, UT-Arlington, Elon, Stetson, Belmont, Wright State, Davidson, Vermont, Wofford, Penn, Air Force, Mercer, Cleveland State, and Presbyterian College. I know he had some interest from Vandy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Friction Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Andrew started out the AAU season playing with 22 Vision out of Northern Kentucky. He then played with Louisville Magic, another Adidas Gauntlet Gold program, and one of the tops in the country. During the Bob Gibbons event (presented by Hoop Seen), Taylor averaged over 21 points per game and was named as one of the tournament’s “Super Six.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
