LOUISVILLE, Ky. - The Cardinal Dominance staff had a great time scouting and interviewing 2011 verbal commit 3* SF Ryan Taylor, along with Western head coach and also the uncle of Ryan Taylor, Paul Handley.

Handley is now coaching his nephew Taylor, after Taylor made the switch from North Lawrence HS in Indianapolis to Western HS in Louisville. North Lawrence will have great talent, but many of the players seem to have academic issues. So Taylor making the switch to play for Uncle Paul was a great move.
Taylor is on track to possibly still become qualified by the Fall of 2011, with another ACT test scheduled for February 12th. If he does not become qualified by Fall for some reason, Taylor will be attending prep school. Which prep school will be decided by Taylor and his family if they have to cross that bridge, states Handley.
Pitino has told Taylor and Handley that he is a man of his word, and that he wants Taylor to play at Louisville. Whether it is Fall of 2011, or if Taylor reclassifies to the 2012 class, Taylor will be proudly sporting the Red and Black in the end.
Taylor has never even considered playing anywhere but Louisville.
A special thanks goes out to Western HC Paul Handley for taking his time out for Cardinal Dominance to bring you this exclusive.
