At the NBA camp....Turner has been quiet during the event, not putting up a ton of shots.

Turner has trimmed his list to Illinois, Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin, Duke and Florida, all except Duke and Florida have offered. Illinois his is leader at this point.

NBA camp scouting reports......Turner didn't get a ton of touches at the camp, his squad apparently played selfish basketball. Reportedly has narrowed his list to Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Duke and Florida.
My take: Illinois is the leader at this point, Ohio State is in good shape in my opinion, the longer it goes, the better our chances are. Turner has been hoping for an offer from Duke, they told him early this summer they would evaluate him in August at the ABCD camp. Florida seems like a longshot due to lack of room/scholies. Iowa and Wisconsin seem like longer shots to me.

That's not what I've heard. I've heard this is pretty much a Wisconsin v. Illinois battle royale as of right now until possibly some other elite program throws their hat in the ring. Ohio State is bringing in Cook and Lighty in 2006, and that's plenty enough swingmen to deter 2007 swingman Evan Turner from giving Ohio State much of a second thought. I think in the 2007 class you guys are talking about 4's and 5's with Othello Hunter being a JUCO and Greg Oden inevitably a very early entrant to the NBA draft. |

Evan Turner has verbaled to Ohio State according to sources. Apparently, Turner knew tOSU was having a visitor in this weekend and felt he better verbal before he lost his spot.
