Yep. Our main Comp for him signed a big
Who is our main competition? Any word on a visit?
Providence
Apparently Missouri involved as well - 247 notes an insider prediction for Missouri on 5/5. Another 5/3 prediction for Providence. Other two are LSU from a while ago.

Need him bad, he's by far the best (only?) big prospect on the board for us in 2016.

RE: Khalea Turner 6-9 F/C (2016)
In fairness, it's been just over six weeks since he's been hired and he has exactly one commit for next year.
Compare that with what transpires at other schools with new hires - Beard at Tech and Menzies at UNLV, etc.
And it wasn't like he walked into a loaded roster - it was evident that 2016 would need a few more pieces.
And you can scour verbal commits twitter and see the constant movement of 2016 prospects - some tried to say weeks ago that there wasn't anything left in the class.
But, Maryland just signed a 4 star forward YESTERDAY. Two weekends ago, 3 P5 schools signed foreign bigs that were 6-9 or bigger. THREE. P5.
I think everyone sees that the staff is doing work for 2017 and understand as much, but there is no reason to punt 2016 and if the staff doesn't sign another big then that's what they've decided to do - roll shorthanded and make the best of it.

All good points. I'm sure folks are working hard, but it sure is quiet.

Quote: With two available scholarships, Missouri is still trying to add another forward for the 2016 recruiting class and wouldn’t be opposed to a guard if it’s the right fit for the roster, Anderson said. The Tigers have been linked to Link Kabadyundi, a 7-1 Canadian by the way of TCU and Blinn College. Khalea Turner, a 6-9 forward from Louisiana.
