Myles Turner will take officials to Kansas and Duke next month and may take an unofficial to Kentucky, his father told SNY.tv.
David Turner confirmed his son will take an official to Kansas March 5 before heading to Duke March 8.
“Yes, sir, Kansas on the 5th,” he said by text.
“I’m giving [Kansas] a really hard look,” Turner said recently in a USA Today online chat. “I like the fact that they signed two heavy hitters in Kelly Oubre and Cliff Alexander. I’m interested to see what’ it’s gonna be like teaming up with them at the Nike Hoop Summit!”
Kansas could lose Joel Embiid and Andrew Wiggins as the 1-2 picks in the Draft, and Turner called that possibility “very enticing” in his USA Today chat.
Still, if Embiid, the projected No. 1 pick in the Draft opts to stay, Kansas would be out for Turner.
“Coach [Bill] Self told me himself that Embid stays it’s not worth my time,” Turner said previously.
Kansas and Duke both have big men committed, with Alexander going to Kansas and Jahlil Okafor to Duke.
“I could definitely play alongside another big man,” he said in the USA Today chat. “In college and the next level that’s what I’ll have to do.”
Kentucky also remains in the mix for an unofficial, his father told SNY.tv.
“Not officially, would like to try to get there on an unofficial if possible,” he said.
Kentucky has Karl Towns and Trey Lyles committed for 2014, with Dakari Johnson and Marcus Lee also expected back.
“Absolutely! I like what they have to offer,” Turner said in the USA Today chat.
Turner’s current list includes Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Texas.
He recently visited Oklahoma State and SMU, and will take an unofficial to Texas A&M this weekend.
DraftExpress.com has Turner projected as the No. 2 pick in the 2015 Draft behind Okafor and ahead of Alexander.
