The second of two guards recruited in John Thompson's last recruiting class, Willie Taylor was a forgotten man in the Georgetown rotation, while fellow freshman Kevin Braswell soon became a mainstay.

Taylor played in 13 games, with a season high 17 in a win over Southern (New Orleans), an NAIA school, but only played in two games thereafter. He transferred at season's end to Virginia Commonwealth, averaging 15.7 points per game over three seasons, and was a two time all-CAA selection.
