Top-five basketball recruit Myles Turner picks Texas

Myles Turner, the No. 2 player in the ESPN 100, chose to attend in-state Texas on Wednesday over the likes of Kansas, Oklahoma State and Duke.

Turner's favorite player growing up was former Longhorns star Kevin Durant, and now he has the chance to have a Durant-like impact at Texas.

The 7-foot Turner, who is from Bedford in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, owns elite shot-blocking talent while also having the ability to make shots out to the 3-point line.
