Former McDonald’s All-American with Big-Time Rebounding Juice
In the 2012-13 season, Dante Taylor brought value as a rugged 6-9 frontcourt piece for Pitt, finishing a career that included 521 points, 457 rebounds, and 67 blocked shots while ranking 19th in school history in blocks. His calling card was activity around the rim: nearly half of his career rebounds came on the offensive glass, a strong sign of effort and second-chance instincts. He was a top-30 recruit and McDonald’s All-American, and the fit question is simple — if a team needs interior toughness, hustle, and board work, he’s your guy.
