Breaking News-Big Time Def T Transferring To BU

[RealBear]

Picking up on different outlets, sounds like Phil Taylor from Penn St will be tranfering to Baylor. This guy is a freight train DT. Seems he got himself into a fight and was suspended by Paterno and decided to transfer to Baylor.

He was a HS 4 Star and is a monster.

Will this season be the sit out season? We could use beefy guys right now. Our starters look really solid but our depth has me worried. I think we are going to be fine though.

[Wacoso]

This season would be the sit out season. The fight was one of many on the PSU team and ESPN did an outside the lines story on the 46 arrests, 170+ charges, etc... and Paterno came out looking foolish.

This would be a big transfer as we need a guy of his caliber inside while the young ones mature.

Tell Phil to throw that freshman defensive back from Texas in his suitcase and bring him with him.

Wow, awesome if true!



GGR just scooped the site whose name is not to be mentioned...

99% sure it's true based on Penn St fans writing congrats on sicem sports forum, and my follow up on their board. I couldn't get it to their private forum to see which school he tranferred to, but it all adds up to be Baylor.

See pasted note form Penn St site below:

Found this on the Penn St board.

I just got off the phone with Penn State's Assistant Director of Athletic Communications, Brian Siegrist, to confirm the reports that both Phil Taylor and Chris Baker have been officially kicked off the football team.

Officially, it's true.

Both redshirt junior defensive tackle Chris Baker and redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Phil Taylor have been removed from the football team.

While there is no official explanation as of yet as for the how and why of the matter, an explanation should be forthcoming at some point in the near future, he said.

Taylor was selected as a fourth-team All-Big Ten pre-season selection by Phil Steele this off-season.

The Penn State football team will begin preparations for the 2008 season on Monday, August 4, when pre-season practice is officially underway.

Certainly, this will be a major topic of discussion when the Nittany Lions' annual pre-season media day takes place on Friday, August 8.

Stay tuned to Blue White Illustrated for the latest on this breaking news story.

By the way guys... this is a completely open forum. I highly recommend giving credit to sites that break the news, regardless of outlet. I will not be adding words like bearscoop or baylorfans or scout to our banned words list.

I inquired on the Penn State Blue & White Rivals Board and cut and pasted the thread below. Got a quick confirmation at the end.

I have no idea about the rumor but didn't Brian Norwood take the DC job at Baylor?? Maybe he and Taylor built a good relationship.

I think I still have four years eligibility. Do you think Kaz could turn this 6'3 335 into 310 and Longhorn beating?

I can promise you that Kaz will nationally recognized for his efforts. Our young men are looking good and they are much more fit than I have seen them in years. Kaz was a HUGE hire for Coach Briles.

I agree... a couple of the guys who were my same height look huge.

I am looking for us to win a couple we were not supposed to...
