Another member of the Red Raven men's basketball team has made a decision, with guard Justin Taylor committing to the University of Tampa.
The Tampa Spartans are one of the most consistently successful schools at the Division 2 level, winning national titles in a variety of sports. Taylor says it was an immediate connection with the school.
Taylor transfered to Coffeyville after two seasons at High Point University, where he earned Honorable Mention All-KJCCC in his lone season in the conference. He says he owes a lot to Head Coach Jay Herkelman.
The point guard is the latest example of a player being able to stand out at the JUCO level, and find a role with a successful four-year program. Taylor says playing in JUCO made him a more well rounded player.
Taylor teams up with Tampa Head Coach Linc Darner, who was at High Point during Taylor's freshman season. The Spartans are looking to compete for a national title, after a 20-11 season last year.
