Shaka Smart and the Texas basketball team received a big boost when Isaiah Taylor announced he would be returning to Texas for his junior season.
Taylor had been contemplating a jump to the NBA after a difficult sophomore season. Taylor suffered a wrist injury early in the year and missed 10 games. It took him a while to get himself back into playing shape as the offense struggled to get going once Taylor returned. Texas was eventually knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by Butler in the first round.
Speculation was that Turner was leaning towards making the jump to the NBA.
