Tyshawn Taylor update

Cheek tells Rivals.com he’s considering KU, UConn, Florida, Georgetown, Miami, North Carolina, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and Tennessee. He’s the No. 12-ranked prospect in the Class of 2009.

Taylor is ranked No. 77 in Rivals’ final rankings. KU signee Marcus Morris is ranked No. 29, Markieff Morris 50, Travis Releford 70 and Quintrell Thomas 150.

“I spoke to Russell a lot. Russell is from the city, too, so we have a lot in common,” Taylor, a 6-foot-3 point senior point guard from St. Anthony High in Jersey City, N.J., said of Robinson, KU’s outgoing senior guard from the Bronx, N.Y.

“I asked him how he adjusted to going to school so far away. He said he adjusted well,” added Taylor, Rivals.com’s No. 77-rated player, in a phone interview after returning to Jersey on Friday night.

“Tell everybody they have a great shot (at landing Taylor), and thanks for being so kind to me. I loved it,” Taylor said of his trip to Lawrence.

That's the great thing about the Kansas program......once they have graduated and moved on, they continue to do everything they can to help the program....that's why they call it the Kansas Basketball Family.....Carolina family, etc....

Thanks Russell!!!
