I think that is the correct take, but the fact is anywhere Turner would want to go there is going to be near NBA talent in the post - correct?

Kansas is not near NBA talent.

With SMU you have to look at the fact that Moreira and Kennedy are here. Both have NBA potential and will have been in the system for 2 years. That might be why we were not on his original top 10 list. If he came here he would have to split a lot of minutes. And being a one and done you don't want to go where you have to split a lot of minutes whether you are starting or not.

This is the correct take

Why not start all 3? And is Kennedy THAT good?

From what I saw in practice Kennedy is pretty good imo. All the bigs on the team this year are pretty good.

where are people getting that we are in the final round of teams? The articles that pop up when i search list "Ohio State, Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma State as his choices"

Is there somewhere else he discusses the ponies?

just curious

yes, he added SMU back into the mix after the Midiay decision. I read another article on 247 sports that also stated, even after he had cut his list, he had SMU as a dark horse and still wanted to visit.

Rivals / Scout have articles on the evaluation of Turner's father concerning how relentless SMU's recruiting efforts have been with regard to Turner, even after narrowing his list to exclude us.

"The Texas center insists he’ll wait until spring to sign, where he’ll choose between Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, Oklahoma State – possibly SMU – and Texas, in addition to the Buckeyes."
