    NEW YORK — Myles Turner says he plans to verbally commit to college in “January or February” and won’t sign until the late signing period.

    “I’m going to probably verbally commit somewhere late school season but I’m not going to sign a Letter of Intent until the late signing period,” the 6-foot-11 Turner out of Euless (TX) Trinity told SNY.tv in the above video Friday at the Big Strick Classic. “Maybe like January, February. I don’t want to hold everything for too long, bring too much drama into it.”

    Turner, who looks like a future NBA lottery pick, recently cut his list to eight schools: Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Arizona, Ohio State, Texas and Oklahoma State.

    As of now, his only official visit is to Kansas for “Late Night in the Phog” Oct. 4.

    NEW YORK — After spending July traveling everywhere from South Carolina to Orlando to Las Vegas, many of the top high school basketball players in the nation will now come here this month.

    Over the next two weeks, the Big Apple will host two of the most prestigious events of the summer in the Big Strick Classic (Aug. 10) and the Elite 24 (Aug. 24).

    As a proud New York City resident, I’m happy to see many of the top players in hoops come to our city to showcase their skills.

    Rental cars, hotels and bad food in North Augusta, S.C., are one thing.

    Chris Egi is one of the top big men in the Class of 2015. The Canadian product recently decided to transfer to Montverde (FL) Academy to play for legendary coach Kevin Boyle. He will be contributing to ZAGSBLOG periodically. Here’s his first entry. Check out his video interview above from Mark Bairos.

    What’s up, everyone?

    This is Christopher Egi from CIA Bounce and this is my player blog on ZAGSBLOG.com

    I’ve just finished with the summer basketball season. This summer I was privileged enough to participate in several high-level events. I had a chance to play on the Canadian Junior National team for the U-19 World Championships and I had a great time. The tournament was held in Prague, Czech Republic, which is just a beautiful city. Being the youngest player on the team at 16, I got to learn a lot playing with older players every day in practice.

    Angel Delgado, the rebounding machine who took the Nike EYBL rebounding title this summer, disputed that he has cut his list in any fashion.

    “That’s false!!! I haven’t made my top 5 schools yet!” the 6-foot-9 Dominican forward Tweeted.

    Dana Dingle, who coaches Delgado with the Long Island Lightning, initially Tweeted that Delgado’s current top five is Kentucky, Seton Hall, Virginia, Florida State and Fordham.

    Kentucky has yet to offer, but the other four have.

    The Knicks have found their third-string point guard.

    Beno Udrih has agreed to a one-year deal for the veteran’s minimum.

    “Beno is a solid addition to our backcourt where he will give us more depth and flexibility,” Knicks GM Glen Grunwald said. “He is a talented and experienced floor general who brings championship experience to our locker room.”

    Udrih, a 31-year-old left-hander from Slovenia, will back up Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni.

    With the signings of Udrih and big man Jeremy Tyler, the Knicks now have 14 players on the roster, with one available spot.
