Not bad.
Texas Longhorns
More big-time recruits should follow Myles Turner's lead -- and I don't mean by replacing the traditional school-announcement-press-conference hat with a bucket model, although that was a nice touch.
Turner, Scout.com's No. 2 overall prospect in the Class of 2014, waited until all NBA draft decisions and major coaching hires were complete, ensuring he'd have an accurate sense of '14-15 rosters. He picked the Longhorns, who can easily slot him in at the four in between center Cameron Ridley and 3/4 Jonathan Holmes, creating one of the nation's best front lines. Turner avoided a situation like what's happened at Kentucky, where the Wildcats have an incredible frontcourt -- probably the best in the nation -- but not enough playing time to go around. There aren't enough minutes to share among Dakari Johnson, Willie Cauley-Stein, Marcus Lee, Alex Poythress, Karl-Anthony Towns, Trey Lyles and Derek Willis. An unexpected backup of talent is a good problem to have as a coach, but not a great problem to have as a five-star recruit. (Screengrab source: ESPNU.)
