What’s a mystery wrapped up into an enigma? For Purdue basketball fans, it’s Jacquil Taylor. He came in as part of a loaded recruiting class that’s now preparing for their fourth and final season lacing up in the gold and black. Only, he won’t be done after this year. Foot injuries have side tracked Taylor’s last two years and forced him to redshirt his junior year.
Before Team USA’s silver medal run in Taipei, the last time Purdue fans got to see Jacquil Taylor on the floor was March 12th of 2016. That’s long enough to forget a lover, let alone a player who had never topped 100 minutes in a season.
