Turner News Headlines
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think maybe Self had made such a good sales pitch he was waiting and hoping Embiid would stay, then he would be more justified in saying no to Bill. When Embiid declared he stalled even more because he was just looking to give Texas every opportunity to do & say the right thing and a last chance to do so down the stretch, because in his heart he wanted to go there but his head was telling him KU.
Idk, at least that’s the best narrative I can come up with to explain the wait.
-
@icthawkfan316 makes sense!
-
I feel if Turner decides Texas he did them a disservice by waiting soo long that his signing will influence no one else’s decision. However if he goes to KU or Duke; those classes/teams are pretty complete without him.
45%KU
40%Texas
15% field
And no decision would surprise me, unless he goes to the D-League.

Another great day for Kansas! Always great to be considered. Best wishes to Myles Turner. He will be a fun player to watch next season. Lots of great programs to consider. Looks like it will be another exciting season of NCAA Basketball. Looking forward to supporting the Kansas Jayhawks!

If hats are involved, I go with NO based on our previous record with the ones who do the picking with a hat thingy.
Let’s all say a prayer at 2:59 PM CST that we see no hats. Can’t hurt.
-
Historically hats are a bad sign but we won our last one after the Illinois fake and switch
-
The signs appear to point to Texas. The “experts” (Espn, etc.) usually, not always, have it right. The good thing is…we’ll be fine either way.
-
@Hawk8086 On point! That’s the beautiful thing about Kansas Basketball!

I thought Wiggins was going to Kentucky and Randle to KU, so did the “experts”. I thought KU would make the Sweet 16 so Embiid could take over. Shows what I know.
I’m done with predicting where kids will go (only going to offer my opinion
).Go to KU Myles. KU offers one of if not the best trainer in the USA. Bill Self is a wonderful big man coach, just look at his track record of getting bigs drafted. KU needs a rim protector for the tournament and already has his backup in Mickelson. Myles won’t be the only stud on this team so all the pressure won’t be on him with Selden, Oubrre, Alexander(HS POY), and Ellis(HS POY) already there. The only pressure at KU will be to win, not to carry the team.
-
I think we might be good if he comes here.
I’m glad he’s not going to kentucky and with all their recruits this year, I include Duke in that.
Even if he’s a Kevin Durant type talent, Texas will only be able carry that so far, not too worried about him in the Big12.
-
I like to make my predictions in the evening… with a cocktail in hand…
I hope I’m wrong… but I’m sensing Texas. Here is why:
“Myles Turner used Twitter to invite his Trinity High School classmates to a special ceremony today in Euless, Texas.”
Sounds like a party. Would it be as festive if he picks Kansas? Sounds like a Texas party.

. with a cocktail in hand
@drgnslayr Uhmmm let me see you seem like a Jack and coke type guy, maybe a whiskey water?
-
@drgnslayr you are no fun!
-
I used to be a whiskey man… everything from Irish to single malt.
I don’t like to make predictions because I rarely drink now!
When I was young and crazy… my drink of preference was a “Peacemaker.”
It’s the drink Mexicans and Mexican tribe members had with the Native Americans up north. (legend… factual? Who knows?)
3 shots of Mescal (or tequila) with a twist of citrus (lemon, lime or orange).
It’s a shooter… and it was like coffee… rough to do at first until you get used to them. Then… it became addictive.
Definitely not a drink for married folks!
-
@drgnslayr I rarely drink now too at lunch, or on mondays or tuesdays, and even sundays, but the rest of the week is open.
Canadian Wizer’s, not not Windsor, comes in 12 years and up and is very smooth, easy to drink straight up on the rocks.
Never a big Irish whiskey man tho.
-
@drgnslayr I used to drink.
A LOT. Mostly beer. But unlike D. Sterling, I did not discriminate. If it had alcohol in it, I would drink it.
Until I saw the video tape of my brother-in-law’s 30th birthday party. (26 years ago this November).
God’s truth - I haven’t had a drink of any kind since then. If alcohol made me that stupid, arrogant and obnoxious I didn’t want any part of it.
Oh, I don’t miss waking up underneath toilet stools either.
AA should seriously videotape folks who are drunk and want to quit.
-
“Oh, I don’t miss waking up underneath toilet stools either.”
Alcohol is all about amount. Seems there is a sour spot you don’t want to end up in. Either drink light and wake up sprite… or drink so much you can’t remember the stupidity and splash.
I’m thrilled to turn the reins over to the next generation on drinking… Now I drink for the taste, not the effect. One will usually do the trick. Craft beers, wine, cognac, whiskey… I’m good for one, and on a big night TWO!
BTW… loved the reference to Sterling.
-
I once heard a comedian say they wanted to run for President so they press could look up and find all the things they did when they blacked out in college when they were drunk.
I had a few of those nights, now I’m the guy who sands in the driveway with my neighbors having a few on the weekends. To risky to drink and drive, not only due to the police but the danger it may cause others too.
-
With age comes maturity. Thanks to everyone that shared memories of there youth. Mine was pretty much the same. I have no wishes to be young again.
-
Drinking and driving have long been out of sight of my rear view mirror.
I’m often the designated driver now! Funny thing is, sometimes the stress of driving around all the drunk drivers late at night makes you thirsty for a drink!
-
I am… not as old as you guys I guess. 22 and go to college. About to enter the prime of my drinking career.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Be careful…
-
Too bad, Turner seems like a good kid and a great baller. But on the bright side we no longer have to worry about a 7 footer who can vastly change the look of your team who probably will not be available in March due to injury.
-
@dylans great point!
