Does Robert Wilson have the frame to move to the three, because even if Diamond grows another 3 or 4 inches he will be way to small to play the three.

Robert Wilson is not exactly stout himself, but he's expected to be a 2/3 swingman. Small forwards are usually perimeter players so immense girth is not vital for that position. As long as he has the prerequisite lateral quickness, he should be fine. Quickness is much more important than strength.

Well said. The way it sounds Wilson has a quick first step and comes well of screens, so he should be a perfect fit. Guys like Durant, Ellington, Brewer, etc don't/didn't have a huge build, but like Bern said if he is quick and has good range he will fit in fine.

A video where you see a bit of Diamond, mostly about the monster team that the Illinois Wolves have been the last 5 years I think he said 49 D1 players and 9 D2 players, that may be a huge pipeline down the road. |

I don't know if this has been reported, but Diamond Taylor is transferring to Bolingbrook for his senior season of basketball. It is said that his father being the assistant coach at Bolingbrook and the closer proximity to home are the major factors.

Diamond looks much thicker then he did last year, and he looks pretty cut too.

Bolingbrook Falls in OT
Quote:
Bolingbrook trailed 43-40 in the fourth quarter when senior guard Diamond Taylor (game-high 19 points) made two free throws. He stole the inbounds pass and swished a 3-pointer, putting the Raiders up 45-43.
Taylor's free throw late in regulation gave Bolingbrook a 47-46 lead.

Im hoping DT can add around 10 or 15 more pounds before next season starts, so he is able to get some minutes right away and hopefully not wear down.

anybody know how boilingbrook is doing this year or if they are finished?
also do you think he may redshirt next year because of rob wilson in head of him? He looks physically ready from the pictures I haven't watched any video of him yet. How good do you think he is compared to rob wilson and jordan taylor in high school?

I think Diamond is more a more refined player and almost as good of athlete as Rob. One thing is that if Diamond comes in and plays great defense(which he very well could) He could take Wilsons or Evans minutes.
