Taylor to Penn a done deal?
We'll preface this post by emphasizing that this is not the type of report that would be classified as solid or certain. It is merely a rumor at this point, but one reported to Hoop Time by a source with very solid Penn connections.

Word is that Penn and Billy Taylor have agreed on a deal and that Taylor will be introduced at a press conference Monday or Tuesday as the Quakers' new coach.

Keep in mind a whole weekend can leave plenty of time for minds to change. Lehigh could sweeten the pot to keep Taylor in Bethlehem. Taylor could have second thoughts. There are myriad ways this could change over the weekend.

Our source says he is not comfortable enough yet to report it as fact for his publication. Certainly it is not a solid enough report that we would report it as a done deal.

But where there is smoke, there usually is fire, and it certainly looks as if Taylor's candidacy at Penn has taken on the front-runner status that some Philly papers have conferred upon him.
