Turner Has Not Signed -- Yet

Larry Turner, a 6-10, 225-pound center/power forward from Bridgton Academy in Maine, has not yet signed a letter of intent. When Turner landed at Bridgton Academy in Maine, he was there to meet NCAA academic requirements. Sources tell us he has met those.

However, he 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.. When he committed to Georgia, Turner told us: "I wanted to play for a winner," Turner said. "Coach Harrick and his staff are winners. Coach Harrick has won everywhere he has gone. He is going to turn it around there. I want to be part of it."

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 is one of the schools Turner would consider seriously if he doesn't sign with Georgia.
