"@fishsports: Source: look for nati recruit C Myles Turner of Arlington - a likely 1-&-done - to sign w @SMUBasketball" mike fisher tweeted this a few minutes ago. He has 15k followers so some credibility. Omar majzoub says that he texted myles about it and he replied "no commitments yet"

Wow, I don't think Fish is prone to going out on a limb.

But he referring to Myles as being from Arlington gives me pause.

Is that the same Mike Fisher with the Dallas Maverick Scout blogs?

Omar Majzoub ‏@OmarMaz34 36m

Five-star big man Myles Turner (@Original_Turner) says the rumor about #SMU is false. He texted me: "No commitments yet."

If Fisher said it, I put some weight on it. He is actually a real old school journalist not just some typical neophyte blogger.

This is just out of the blue. Will be interesting to read what he says when he finally does comment on it.

yip, he had a Sports talk show on KLIF 570AM around same time as Norm Hitzges and Wally Lynn(former SMU play by play announcer).
Fisher always a good analyst. Recently added to the Fan 103.3 in Dallas.

BTW, where is Wally Lynn? I miss his SportsBrothers show with Leon Simon, especially miss his Beavis and Butthead show openers.

Uh, I seriously doubt the dude's coming here. If he does, investigations start seconds thereafter.

When have you ever seen a school get punished that seriously by the NCAA? :wink:

Fisher is obviously very plugged in with pro sports, particularly mavs and cowboys, but he does not seem as plugged in with college. I would guess he heard this from an NBA source.

Obviously he could be wrong, but he usually is not so definitive about things unless he is certain.

SMU has experience in this area. Play on.
