In a major offseason development, three of the Commodores' most important players—Festus Ezeli, John Jenkins, and Jeffery Taylor—all spurned the NBA Draft and announced they would return for the 2011–12 season.
His son Jeffery Taylor moved from his native Sweden in 2006 to play for Hobbs High, and completed his college career at Vanderbilt University in 2012.
On December 21, 2013, it was announced that Taylor would miss the remainder of the season with a torn right Achilles tendon.

His decision to return, along with those of fellow stars John Jenkins and Festus Ezeli, made the Commodores a likely preseason top-10 pick.
