Welcome to the H&R spotlight where we hope to tell the story behind the numbers and away from the ball. Literally think of it as a spotlight, where we focus all our attention on just one player. For the season opener I've decided to spotlight Jacquil Taylor, Purdue's 6'9" redshirt freshman from Massachusetts.
Taylor played six games last year before receiving a medical redshirt, so we've seen him before, but barely, and he remains an intriguing mystery with a lot of athletic upside. He only played 5 minutes on Friday, but if the exhibitions are any indication, it might be one of his longer stints on the court this year, especially considering all the depth we have in the front court and the need to mix that length with shooting.
