A curious thing happens when you look for Jacquil Taylor’s name on Kenpom.com for the 2017 season. You can’t find it. It doesn’t exist there. The same thing happens when you looked for him on the court for the 2016-17 season. You can’t find him. He doesn’t exist there.
Unfortunately, this isn’t an aberration. Jacquil has spent most of his recent basketball career injured. He left high school with just a 3-star rating because of a foot injury. He missed most of his freshman campaign because of a foot injury. His redshirt freshman year, he didn’t have a spot in the rotation because a five-star committed after considering becoming a Spartan and joining a rotation of two of the best centers in the conference.
