Lamonte Turner, a 6-foot-2 point guard from Bradenton (FL) IMG Academy, is looking to reclass to 2015 from 2016, IMG head skills trainer Dan Barto told SNY.tv.
“He will have the opportunity to enroll this fall,” Barto said. “He is a great student and is beyond college ready.”
Coaches from Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas and Baylor have all been in to see the Alabama native this week.
“Anyone who’s looking for a scoring point guard now will be interested,” Barto said.
Turner is ranked No. 30 among point guards in 2016 by 247Sports.com.
AKELE ADDING OFFERS
Nicola Akele, a 6-7 small forward from IMG, holds offers from Rhode Island, USF, George Mason and Duquesne, with interest from Michigan, Arizona and Texas.
“He’s just a Euro-style stat filler, tremendous ball skills,” Barto said. “He’s versatile, athletic, long and has a very high basketball IQ.”
