Damn you think Taylor is really that high up or is that homer bias?

Yes, I do think Taylor is one of the best DE's in this class. His upside is enormous. He has played a lot of different positions in HS, QB, WR, DE, LB, S....He is that athletic. They have played him all over the place.

He is still raw, but his ability is off the charts. I hate to make this comparison to him, but he has Leonard Little type athleticism.

He will need a redshirt year imo, but yes I think that much of Taylor.

I also really like D'Andre Walker who is very similar to Taylor. He isn't as long as Taylor and he is a bit lighter but he has that same explosive ability and he is a gamer, great instincts and motor.

The rankings are retarded on the DE's this year. The services have Rasool Clemons ranked higher than Taylor who is also a DE and built very similarly and from VA....that long, langky, rangy body type and he is not even close to the type of athlete that Taylor is.

Taylor didn't attend many camps, and he has played about 6 different positions in HS...because he is so versatile and he is so athletic. I think his film is limited, but put on the tape and watch his speed, acceleration, burst and closing speed. He is going to be a monster pass rusher in a couple years.

I definitely agree on D'Andre Walker and would love to add him to the commit list. It definitely seems like we are trying to complete our DL rebuild with this class.

I think hes every bit, if not better ATH than Jaason Lewis overall. Taylor runs past dbs at WR at 6'5" 215ish in his JR film. I think Taylor has the potential to be a multiple All Sec/American in this D next to Kahlil and Shy...etc

This young guy an EE or pretty close to 100% I HOPE?

Taylor is a solid 230lbs, and he is that fast, he is Sean Taylor\Leonard Little athletic. He is going to be a monster.

Fortenberry says Taylor was unable to make the visit to VaTech but that they are hoping to get him up for the Va game.

In Paul' own words he says it sounds as if Taylor is "open"

whatever that means.

Hmm. That doesn't sound good.

This makes the Kyle Phillips recruitment a little more important now you'd think.

Favorite that we have a chance with or favoite overall? I love the guy as well and I agree that he's a ridiculous athlete especially for a DE. But I don't see how you can think he's better than Sweat of you're looking at it objectively. Unless you just meant your favoite guy we have a legit chance at. Don't get me wrong though, there are very few players that I would trade Taylor for.

We need this guy to be a Vol come NSD. He's a beast and one of my favorite commits.
