Kentucky’s next shot blocker could be Jimmie Taylor.

According to Garrett Tucker of Futue150, the 6-foot-10 center from Greensboro, Alabama has UK in his final five.

Tucker tweeted that “2013 big man Jimmie Taylor of the Alabama Challenge (AL) has a top five of Georgetown, Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Alabama & Tennessee.”

Later, Tucker tweeted, “Kentucky is the only school that has not offered Taylor. He wants to take official visits to UK, Vanderbilt & Georgetown in the fall”

Taylor is ranked as the 19th best prospect in the Class of 2013 by ESPN. 30th best prospect in the Class of 2013 by Rivals. Scout has Taylor ranked 78th.

Dave Telep, who is also at the EYBL Tournament in Virginia, tweeted: “Getting shots to the rim vs. Jimmie Taylor isn’t easy. Little Jarvis Varnardo to his game. #EYBL”http://johnclay.bloginky.com/2012/04/29/...nal-five/#

Most prognosticators don't seem to think Noel has one and done talent.
Wonder if Taylor would keep UK on his list if it appears Noel will return
for year 2?
