Jamari Traylor - PF - IMG Academy - Chicago, IL - KANSAS
« on: January 03, 2011, 11:54:34 AM »
Per Rivals....

Jamari Traylor, PF, IMG- A tough and rugged native of Chicago, Traylor plays much bigger than the 6-foot-6 or 6-foot-7 that he is. He explodes off the floor for slams in traffic, attacks the glass for boards on both ends and is happy to play physically in the lane. He helps to make up for his lack of size by catching in the high post and beating defenders on one and two dribble drives to the rim thanks to a great first step. He mentioned that Virginia Tech had put in a lot of work while Virginia, VCU, Bradley, Minnesota, St. John's and others are involved. The three-star forward will take visits before deciding in the spring.

May, 2010: Taylor is physically ready for college right now. He is a tough and strong power forward that is athletic and competes on both ends of the floor. He rebounds at a high rate in and out of his area and is a tough match ups because of his strength and aggressiveness. He runs the floor well and will attack the rim all on clear paths. He will post and drop step or complete a drop off pass through contact. Taylor scores on the perimeter with a rhythm dribble pull up jumper mostly inside 15 feet. He is good defender but must work to hone his overall skills. He has great upside and will be an excellent glue guy or role player on the college level.

I like the sound of this guy.  Would also like to see a physically ready JUCO forward in the fold, but the recruiting class needs bangers.

I agree!  We need bangers, and if this kid happens to have a heckuva upside then he might be worth a scholarship.

He doesn't look 6'6 in that video!  I like the idea of a 6'6/6'7 junkyard dog  at the four that knows his place inside, but he's gotta be a legit 6'6 to make it work in the Big East unless he's really special.

I saw him several times in AAU ball-played well early. At that level, he would've fit in with the 90s Knicks, guys like Oakley and Mason. He was a contributor (some games more than others-due to Davis) and multi-positional defender. He was essentially the protection for Davis, a tremendous prospect who is much more of a finesse forward.

One of those prospects who could be a great mid-major prospect or a contributor at the high-major level.

I am a big fan of Jamari Traylor. He is ideal of young players.Because he is most effective on offense running in transition, rebounding or receiving the drop-down pass from guard penetration.He is amazing!

That's fine with me.  I'd rather stashed those scholarships and focus on Anderson and Gathers.

It appears that we and Indiana are out although I hope we somehow get him in for a visit. We need the help up front.

I think its GG and a wrap for this year and then look at 3 players in 2012.
