Larry Turner Awaiting Test Score

Larry Turner, a 6-10, 225-pound center/power forward from Bridgton Academy in Maine, is awaiting a test score, according to sources.

When Turner landed at Bridgton Academy in Maine, he was there to meet NCAA academic requirements. Sources tell us he has met the core requirements. He is now trying to achieve the test part of the requirement.

Bridgton Academy head coach Whit Lesure said he expects Turner to sign with Georgia if he qualifies academically. "This is what Larry has told me," Lesure said. "I realize there would be other schools trying to get involved if he was available."

However, Turner has not yet been accepted into Georgia. Remember, the Georgia native had committed to the University of Georgia via a letter of intent last year. Two years ago, Turner played at Baldwin H.S. in Milledgeville, Ga..

But Turner was ruled not eligible to play this season at Georgia. So Larry went to play for Whit Lesure's Bridgton Academy program. He reached his peak of play at the end of the year. Turner appeared comfortable with his new surroundings and certainly is a player who can gobble up rebounds and play tough inside.

Turner previously showed interest when he was in high school in Clemson, NC State, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Villanova, and Alabama.

Sources tell us that Alabama as well as some Big East schools would be interested in Turner if he became available..
