Promise Taylor, a 6'5" forward/center, from Ole Miss has transferred to Mississippi State. She'll sit out a year, per SEC regulations.
Timing is really fortuitous for Vic Schaefer in that he'll get to have her step into the paint after 6'7" Teaira McCowan graduates after this year.

MSU has also recruited several other bigs (see Jackson Clarion-Ledger article that is attached), so "big person in paint" seems to be a priority for Coach Vic (hey, it's worked so far).

Not that he's ignored the guards. At the same time, Taylor becomes eligible, Andra Espinoza-Hunter, the guard transfer from UConn, does, as well. She was a big-time scoring sensation from Ossining, New York, who got in the log-jam of off guards and wings in the UConn Class of 2017, that featured Megan Walker.
