Taylor left Michigan State after his sophomore season, was chosen in the second round of the 2002 NBA Draft, then disappeared. He turned up in the Continental Basketball Association, where he was seventh on the Sioux Falls Skyforce in scoring at eight points per game.
That fate will not befall Nelson, Moore and Thomas -- at least not this season -- because they're back in school. And as a reward, they get included on SportsLine.com's first position ranking of the 2003-04 season!
