Taylor will be visiting Wisconsin this weekend, but will he be accompanied by Troy Vincent?

Planning to attend Wisconsin's game on Saturday, 2014 DB's Miles Taylor and Troy Vincent are scheduled to leave Friday night. Badger247 checks in with Taylor for the latest.

Taylor needs to get an offer if he grabs Vincent with him.

I just can't see this happening. Let's say Vincent's game ends at 10PM. Google maps says it's a 14.5 hour drive from Rockville, MD to Madison. With the hour time difference that has them in Madison (best case scenario) at 11:30AM. And that doesn't even factor in traffic/parking/getting into the stadium.
I love their ambition, but the math just doesn't work.

If they make it by half and UW is playing well, its fine with me. Most recruits talk about Jump Around and the experience of the crowd, both of which they should be able to take in, even if slow arriving. I'm guessing that if the coaches know their coming, they'll have an intern or someone ready to get them into the stadium when they arrive.

Stop saying it's impossible. So they show up late. So what?

Hopefully they arrive just in time to see jump around and the Axe being paraded around the field in victory once again.

Or maybe it just allows them to get people off their backs for a while.

Its weird how Worgull has a story about this days after you. His gets published in the Madison State Journal though so he obviously knew about it before 247 did.

You take the toll way at night and can safely go about 75 the whole way with no traffic. You stop 2 or 3 times for gas at pull offs that are built into the road. It takes 13 to 14 hours depending on how dedicated you are. With the time change it is possible, but not really that fun (having done it at 80 to get to a wedding or two).

Well here's a Badger247 story problem. Taylor and Vincent leave Wisconsin around 8 o'clock. If they travel at 68 mph for 6 hours and 74 for 5 hours on the way back, and Ben Worgull steals stories about 8 hours after Evan; what time will Ben Worgull post Evans update if Taylor and Vincent call Evan from Indiana?

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
I hope Ben doesn't steal your joke.

And then tweet about your lack of ethics.
