23 Days to Purdue Basketball: Jacquil Taylor
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY SportsThe redshirt freshman gives an already big Purdue team even more size.
Today's player is still a bit of a mystery. It was said during his recruitment that he was possibly a five-star prospect if not for injuries that hampered his high school career. Those injuries returned last year, as he played in the first five games and against Arkansas State before shutting it down and officially redshirting the rest of the season. That makes him the rare freshman with modest college experience.
