Taurean Waller-Prince was supposed to be a player that carried the LIU Blackbirds to the next level. The 6’7″ forward from Texas was named the Express News All-Area Player of the Year for the 2011-12 season as he blew up during his senior campaign. When Jim Ferry headed to Duquesne it was Waller-Prince that people were most concerned about – and with good reason. He asked to be let of out of his National Letter of Intent last week, which LIU allowed, and today Waller-Prince signed a Financial Aid Contract with Baylor.

The reason this could actually happen is because it looks like the Dukes are making a solid commitment and the A-10 is a big step up from the NEC.
Q&A about Robert Morris with Colonials Corner
Coming into NEC play it looked like the Robert Morris Colonials were one of the teams to beat. Even without Karon Abraham, Andrew Toole had built a team that managed to take out La Salle, Duquesne and Ohio during non-conference play. Then NEC play started and things got a bit dicier, having just escaped Monmouth 81-73 in overtime, the Colonials sit at 6-2 in the conference with LIU Brooklyn and St. Francis (NY) coming to visit this week. Andrew Chiappazzi of ColonialsCorner.com offered his insight into RMU and what has happened this season.
