HERENDA ON TAVARES-TAYLOR:"Scotty will bring another dimension to our defensive pressure. He plays very hard and is extremely quick on both sides of the ball. He sees the floor very well and will knock down his share of threes. As a person and a student, Scotty will add great character to our program. His success at Tilton as a player and a student was a great learning experience for him. I cannot wait to coach him."
