Taylor Rochestie 6'2" Point Guard Santa Barbara H.S. Santa Barbara, CA After averaging 17ppg as a junior for Santa Barbara H.S. as an off guard Taylor played for Branch West all last summer as a backup combo guard. He was not offered any scholarships based on his summer play. Taking my advice he spent the entire month of August directly working under Bob Gottlieb and learning to be a try point guard. In addition he trained daily under the well regarded Marv Marinovich and began to improve his speed, quickness, strength and overall explosiveness as an athlete. When school began in the Fall he continued to work under Bob Gottlieb on Sundays at the Branch West Basketball Academy at the Spectrum Club in Thousand Oaks and shifted his physical training to be under the tutelage of Greg Zufflatto, whose training studio was located locally in Santa Barbara. Taylor had an outstanding year for Santa Barbara H.S. averaging over 22 ppg and playing as a true point guard. This past Spring he started at the point for Branch West Team Rebook in both Las Vegas tournaments and played reasonably well. However, it was in the Kingwood Classic in Houston that Taylor put it all together and just flat out lit it up. On Sunday the last day of the tournament he averaged 30ppg against Pump and Run with Mario Chalmers who committed to Kansas, the Atlanta Celtics and the Houston Elite. From that point on over 30 D1 schools went all out after him. Taylor made official visits to both Tulane and Tulsa and then cancelled his visit to the University of San Francisco and signed with Tulane.
Taylor and Mom celebrate Taylor signing a full basketball scholarship to play at Tulane University New Orleans, LA.
Taylor Rochestie scores 21 points to lead Washington State in big win over USC Washington State Pullman, WA Click here to view write up of the game. Taylor Rochestie had an outstanding freshman year at Tulane, during which Taylor started every game of the season.  He averaged 13/ppg and had some spectacular games, like the 26pts versus Alabama State, 19pts versus St. Louis, and 17pts versus Marquette.  Taylor came in 3rd in the voting for most outstanding freshman in the Conference USA as voted on by the coaches.  At the end of the season, the entire coaching staff at Tulane was fired, and Taylor was especially close with all of his coaches. In addition, in September, when Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, Tulane University was closed down for the entire year.  Taylor and his father contacted Bob Gottlieb in December, and decided they like to pursue opportunities a little closer to home.  Branch West recruitng assistance service was obtained by Taylor's dad Howard Rochestie, a incredibly supportive Dad. This all had to be done in a 2-3 week window in order to get Taylor enrolled for second semester.  A number of calls were made by Bob Gottlieb throughout the PAC-10, Mountain West, Big West, and West Coast Athletic conference. Washington State, Arizona State, and St. mary's were all highly interested. Tony Bennett assistant coach at WSU researched Taylor's background thouroughly and decided to recruit him to Washington State, and the Rochestie's where thrilled to death.  Taylor committed immeadately. Since then Taylor suffered a severe knee injury, requiring 2 surgeries.  One as recently as December 2006.  Playing with a heavy brace, his playing time was limited until his full strength returned.  Several weeks ago he finally discarded the brace, and came off the bench to score 16pts versus Washington.  In a huge victory over the cross state arch rivals.  Taylor has since moved into the starting lineup of the 9th ranked Washington State Cougars.  Last Saturday had 21 points versus an outstanding USC team that will make the NCAA tournament.  He played 43 minutes of the overtime thriller.
