Will Taylor Tries Aussie-Rules Football but Probably Sticking with Hoops

Will Taylor denies a UCSB shooter last season.

Sometimes things just come together.

This morning I was looking at random posts on a Cal Poly message board and found this link. The short version is that former Cal Poly forward/center Will Taylor got and answered a call to try out in Los Angeles for the Australian Football League and the United States Australian Football League.

The report from worldfootynews.com said:

The Combine will test 21 student athletes with basketball backgrounds, four with football backgrounds and one USAFL player.

Will discussed his travels from San Luis Obispo, home to Maryland, then back to Los Angeles for the combine. Taylor talked about pick-up basketball games and said he was one of the more physical guys at the combine.

All that being said it looks like his heart is in basketball. To that end, it looks like he might soon ink his first professional deal with a team in Portugal. His agent is Portuguese and he seemed pretty confident about it.
