Commit Kurt Taylor's game is on ESPNU

Submitted by 1VaBlue1 on

If you don't want the World Series, I just found Kurt Taylor's HS team on ESPNU.  Grayson (Taylor's team) holds a 12-7 lead over Hoover (Alabama).  I saw him make a carry and make a nice catch on a swing pass, but didn't gain anything on either play.  Looks like a defensive game...

Not Kurt's!!!  Sorry...

A Hoover RB took the ball about 30 yards before one of the Grayson CBs lined him up and put his helmet/shoulder pad into the kids thigh/knee area.  Trainers had to help him limp off the field.  It was a great open field, one on one tackle - on the level of Hill's athletic open field tackles, but with Gideon's power attached!  Great hit...  (And very clean, perfect form, nothing dirty at all...)  Resulted in a fumble that was taken back to the 5.  Grayson scored on the next play. 

EDIT:  I was wrong on the first try, saying it was an INT return.  But I had the wrong play in my head, so I corrected that.

Grayson won the game 36-17, they were physically much better than Hoover (AL).  I didn't see Taylor run the ball much, as he was playing behind another RB.  Grayson has some talent...  I can't find any stats, but I'd be a little surprised if he had much more than 20 yards, or so.

I don't want to be a douche, but has the staff told this kid to look around at all? Samuels and Dillon in the class and pushing hard for guys like Harris...I think Taylor still considers himself a RB. If he can't get snaps or do anything with them in a HS game, he's unlikely to beat out the other guys being recruited at UM.
