I'm not in here trying to be a wet blanket; I definitely see the potential. I just think people are underestimating the jump in competition from the ASUN to the B1G. I found nine players that transferred out of the ASUN in the previous two years. This is per Rivals -- if I've missed anyone I could update this -- and every player that "went up" a level or more in competition saw a decrease in performance.

I think Turner is a great use of a scholarship. But I'm concerned about how many minutes we plan to play him next season.

I think it may be a case of a player being overlooked because he was out of shape/overweight. Once he got to college, he gets nutrition and diet guidance. All of sudden that talent shows through as his physical conditioning improves. Now that he's in shape, he gets the attention of Power 5 coaches. Not sure about the athletes you mention above, but his story gives me hope that he might be the exception to this trend. Good for him
