  • Graham Decommits from N.C. State; Taylor to Marquette

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Torian Graham, the Rivals No. 5 shooting guard in the Class of 2012, has decommitted from N.C. State.

    “I just feel like I made a decision too fast. I don’t feel like I gave everyone a chance to recruit me,” Graham told PackPride.com

    “I’m still listing them. They are still at the top.”

    Damon Handon, who coaches with DC Assault, said he had no new list for Graham but imagined Maryland and others would try to get involved. Handon pointed out that Maryland assistant Dalonte Hill, now a Maryland assistant, has a strong relationship with the 6-foot-4 Graham.

    “I’m quite sure a lot of schools will try to get in there,” Handon said by phone. “A kid as talented as he is, I’m quite sure he’ll have a number of schools wanting to recruit him.”

    TAYLOR TO MARQUETTE

    Steve Taylor, a 6-8 forward ranked the No. 1 senior in Illinois, has committed to Marquette.

    “(Marquette is) a great fit for me,” Taylor, who chose the Golden Eagles over DePaul, Purdue and Ohio, told the Chicago Tribune. “The system and the coaching staff. And my family can watch me play.”

    Kendrick Nunn, a 6-2 guard who is Taylor’s teammate at Chicago Simeon, pledged to Texas A&M.

    “I decided to commit when I was on my visit (this weekend),” Nunn, who also visited Ohio and Memphis, told the Tribune. “I am still going to go through the recruiting process and take calls.”
