Myles Turner to Visit Texas

Myles Turner will visit Texas Wednesday-Friday, his father, David, confirmed to SNY.tv Monday.

The 6-foot-11 Turner out of Euless (TX) Trinity has taken officials to Duke, Kansas, Ohio State and Oklahoma State. SNY.tv previously reported he would visit Texas last.

Turner will be very busy in April with the McDonald’s and Jordan Games, as well as the Nike Hoop Summit. He will play with and against recruits from Duke, Kansas and Kentucky at those events, and will use those games to evaluate what it’s like playing with some of those players.

“Myles has a very busy April so we’re trying to get it done a soon as possible,” David said of a decision.

“We’re very blessed to be in this position. It’s overwhelming at times, but it beats the alternative.”
