23 Days to Purdue Basketball: Jacquil Taylor
Can he stay healthy?
The redshirt junior has already missed two seasons to injury and is currently sidelined with a stress fracture in the same ankle that kept him off the court last year.
The cruel part for Purdue Boilermaker fans is that his value for Purdue has never been more certain. Taylor looked like he was on the way to being healthy and finally being able to show off his unique blend of athleticism and length. He made it all the way through Purdue’s trip to Taipei the World University Games.
His play was a revelation. Jacquil looked confident and comfortable on the court. More than just playing well though, he looked like the perfect back up center to the bruising Isaac Haas.
