Turner is one of just four players in ESPN’s Top 100 who has yet to choose a school, and as one might expect, those still in contention for him aren’t backing off. Friday night at the Jordan Brand Classic in Brooklyn, Turner joined some of the best high school seniors in the country for an All-American game that some hope might have steered him toward Kansas.
After the game, Cliff Alexander mentioned that he and fellow Jayhawks commit Kelly Oubre, who was also a Jordan Brand All-American, are doing their best to bring Turner to Lawrence.
“Me, Kelly and Joel [Embiid] have been talking to him,” Alexander said. “Joel talked to him earlier today at the hotel trying to get him to commit. Hopefully he does that.”
Embiid, who played for Kansas this season before declaring for the NBA Draft, attended the game Friday night as a fan.
If Turner does commit to Kansas, he will join Alexander and returning forward Perry Ellis in one of the nation's most daunting front courts. Wherever he ends up, he is likely another one-and-done player.
The seven-foot center from Bedford, Texas is expected to announce his college commitment on April 30 and is considering Duke, Kansas, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, SMU, Texas and Texas A&M.
