Its hard to say or project his playing time 2 years down the road, it really depends on the guys in front of him. I will say this......Turner is only scratching the surface of his talent. He does everything well, he is becoming a very good all-around player. He brings a hard hat to the court so to speak and that will fit in well with the guys in the 2006 class.

Just watched his most recent highlight tape.
Not really sure on a guy to compare him too. I have seen Livingston's name mentioned but not sure on that one.
I really like Turner's game and I think with the combo of guards and wings we are going to have his game is going to fit in nicely. IMO he looks like a 6'7'' guy that just grew out of the pg position, but can still handle the ball with ease and can take it strong to the rack. He is going to need work on his jumper, but he looks to have a lil pull up from 15 and in. He will take it at you strong. He is not a guy that will play above the rim and dunk it, but he uses his body very nicely to shield the defender and can finish.
Another thing from watching his video you could really tell that he has those long arms that can get in passing lanes and block shots.
I really like Turner's game and I see him as a developing young star that will play but struggle some his freshmen year, but once he adds weight he will improve and become a leader by the time he leaves here.

Im starting to grow more and more into this kid, just like everyone else.
As for his staying time, IMO, it depends on how he is treated at school. If he comes in with alot of love and the coaches really ahve a heart to heart with him on him needed a degree for his future, he could very well stay. Things change once your actually in school and figuring out your life plan, instead of having high school NBA dreams.

Video of Turner in action.
My Take: When watching this film and trying to compare him to a past Buckeye, the name that pops in my head is Brian Brown. Turner is very good at slashing to the hole and takes contact well. Has a very quick step and a good handle on the ball. The fact they show some defensive highlights on this video is suprising, its rare you see that from a film clip, unless you are watching Greg Oden. Has nice form on his mid-range jumper. Athletic, long and seems to play bigger than his frame.
