OLD POST: UConn offered 2014 C Myles Turner

[tcf15]

According to Turner himself: http://247sports.com/Article/Under-Armour-Chris-Chiozza-Myles-Turner-Jared-Nickens-More-132161

Myles Turner (Texas Select) - Still very much developing as a big man, at 6-11 Turner has an impressive skill package to work with. He is a great shot blocker, has great hands, shooting touch and a feel for passing the basketball. He also has a horde of schools recruiting him, since emerging on the national scene this spring. All of the Big 12, except for West Virginia, is vigorously pursuing him. Turner also listed offers outside of the Big 12 from Texas A&M, Marquette, UCLA, Miami, USC, Rice, Houston, UNLV and UConn. Still early in the process for Turner, he plans to cut his list to 10 schools after the summer.

The key to recruiting Myles Turner: a good psychology department?

Ollie & Sean Miller seem to like the same players. Lets hope kids prefer snow to a dry heat.

Schools located where coeds dress for summer weather most of the year have an inherent advantage over us. We will need to sell recruits on other things.

Never understood why Hawaii isn't a better team.

We've done well with centers from Texas before.

Any chance here?

Nope

 

[alfonse]

The warm schools seem amazing if... you come from a cold climate. So maybe he is curious what is like up north

 

[Husky Dad]

Why cant we pitch hard after winning it all.

Let's make this clear to everyone; WE HAVE NO SHOT AT GETTING MYLES TURNER.

Even if we did would we want him? I like our situation at the 5 where we have the high upside game changing defender but offensive project and the steady serviceable guy...

We can pitch whatever we want, but the University of Connecticut isn't located in Texas so it won't matter.

I hate these throw back 11 month old threads...

It's a moot point, but yes, of course we would want him.

We need to get a "Hostess" program like they have at Tennessee.

No we wouldn't take a top 5 player at potential area of need...

If that was all there was too it ASU would have 10 NC.


Tucson is actually cooler than Tempe. In Arizona the temperature is more about elevation than latitude. Tucson is about 3500 ft. There is actually a ski resort there. If you remember last year match play championship. was curtailed by frost and snow. If you see someone in shorts in Dec,Jan,Feb,or March they are probably
Canadian and over 60.

Thanks, I hadn't noticed. However, Turner is the last big time recruit remaining for 2014. Thinking about twin towers would be awesome.
