quavon taylor dismissed from team?

[Mag Pie]

20 credits in one summer?  Crazy!!

Whether this is true or not, any player dismissed for academic reasons is fine by me. It means a lot more to me these kids get their degrees then play football. Hardly any of them will make it to the NFL and a good education can be the only way out of the hood. So hopefully he's able to get his grades up and play.

again, just to be clear, from what i've been told, quavon taylor's absence from practice this week has ZERO to do with any academic problems.

i'm curious to see how we'll start to evaluate him and at what position.  i see him as being a sean taylor type of a safety during his career.

yea taylor is a little too small to be a LB in the Big East.  Safety he will be deadly.

Freshman Taylor reports, won't miss practice

Quavon Taylor won't miss the start of fall practice after all.

The freshman linebacker from Miami Northwestern was excused this weekend to go home to Miami to attend to some personal matters, but made an unexpectedly quick return, reporting with the rest of USF's incoming freshmen Sunday. He'll be able to practice with the rest of the Bulls on Monday afternoon.

Because of USF's relative depth at linebacker, Taylor and fellow freshmen Mike Lanaris and Armando Sanchez are likely to redshirt, but coach Jim Leavitt has said he likes the speed and hitting ability that Taylor would bring to the Bulls on special teams.

-- Also, as a programming note, I'll be doing a live chat over at Thebullspen.com on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. ... I've done a few chats in the past there with the message-board gang and it's always gone well, with lots of good questions. If you can't make it then but have a question you want answered, post it here and I'll do my best to address it as well. We'll get a link to a transcript afterwards, too ...

that was always my belief.  he doesn't have the size to be an LB, but he certainly has the strength and hitting ability...

combine that with the speed of a safety, and he is going to be deadly in the defensive backfield cleaning up wide receivers.

glad to hear that he handled his business down in the MIA and made it back for the start of fall practice.
