The 6 new freshman basketball recruits (Nick Rogers, Jaelan Sanford, Taylor Adway, Luke Knapke, Nate Navigato, and Chandler White) All arrived on campus today for their medicals and will presumably start up summer classes soon.

Excellent! No one got arrested, joined the Peace Corps or moved into a yurt on a Colorado commune. I'm pumped to see this group!

My understanding is that Taylor will not be on campus until the fall. Since he is redshirting this year anyway, that will obviously have no influence on this year's team. There will be a 12 man contingent fighting for spots in the rotation, assuming no one else redshirts. Coach K usually uses 9 guys so it will be interesting to see if he expands that number this season.

Comes as a surprise !! I figured if anyone would redshirt, it would be Luke Knapke, not Taylor Adway.

That doesn't sound good. Grades? Why wouldn't he come early anyway?

I'm pretty certain that Taylor is on campus at the moment because I have personally contacted him and he is on campus (Via Snapchat). He also took a picture of Presidents hall and posted that on on snapchat as well.

I'm guessing this is referring to Steve Taylor, the transfer from Marquette, not Taylor Adway.

Yes Steve Taylor is the transfer that must sit out this year. That is why we have 12 able bodies eligible to play this year, instead of 13.
