Sharena Taylor to Georgia Tech

Sharena Taylor committed to George Tech:

A confluence of some unusual circumstances led Sharena Taylor to become Georgia Tech's third, and highest rated, commit in the 2009 class.

The sharp, well-built point guard is highly motivated, academically, and was looking to leave her native Michigan state. She happened to be down in Augusta, Ga., where her Michigan Crossovers club team had competed at Nike Nationals. Augusta also was close to relatives as well as her top three college choices.

Despite a sprained medial-collateral ligament in her right knee, which knocked her out of the end of the premier summer tournament, Taylor was able to limp through unofficial visits to Auburn, Georgia and Georgia Tech, then make a list of pros and cons for each.
