Not good news for SMU and Turner since they did not pick Kansas.

beat me to it. ugh

Worst kept secret in CBB over the last few weeks

Not good for our chances to get Turner in my opinion. I saw all of this coming, though.

Okafor to KU had some real legs. I honestly believe that had it not been a package deal, Okafor goes to KU and Turner to KU is no longer an option. KU just didn't need Jones (not saying they would have had a shot even if they wanted him).

Come on fellas, Turner doesn't want to be anyone's 5 man. I saw him square vs Alexander once this summer, and you guys are trying to tell me Turner is the 5? He's closer to being a face-up 4 than a 5, even if he has two inches on Cliff. Neither the Okafor or Alexander signings mean diddly. You guys are playing checkers, analyzing rosters, when this will be a backroom deal. The kid didn't go on visits or even intnd to sign in the Fall, so he could maximize his stock/value. Just hope SMU doesn't bring a knife to a gun fight

yikes. guess he is going to baylor then

What the heck is involved with a backroom deal? I ask because I don't know

Your 2014 SMU Men's Bball starting lineup:

PG Nic Moore (he will run and gun when in)
SG Mudiay (will switch to PG in pros and will play quite a bit of PG when Nic Moore is not in - this will allow him to work on his jumpshot to increase his versatility for the NBA)
SG Frazier (will move to SG when Nic Moore is not in - will showcase his toughness, especially on defense, to improve his draft status)
PF Myles Turner (will play some center when Yannick is not in, but will be able to showcase his versatility at the 4 spot quite a bit here - when he moves to center, Kennedy plays at the PF)
C Yannick Moreira (Turner will play here when Yannick is out)

Manuel, B. Moore, Kennedy, Cunningham in heavy rotation.

That's a final four team my friends. How deep is THAT bench?!?!?

Don't forget Sterling Brown

EM will play the point (you don't experiment with Mudiay) and will bring the ball up most of the time. He will drive to the bucket and Nic will nail the outside jumpers. As Hoopmanx pointed out plenty good programs run 2 PG's in the starting lineup.
