His announcement has been pushed back to July 10th, sometime b/w 8-11 p.m. EST.

The kid has a quick eye and react. He sees the hole or the tackler coming and reacts rather quick with very little wasted movement. If he doesn't have much speed than everyone seems to be slow has hell. he tends to out run everyone else.

According to a report just put out there by Kornblut, Turner will make his decision on Tuesday, July 8th as first reported.

Time to be determined.

Says South Carolina, Clemson, Virginia, Michigan State and Ohio State are still in the picture. But a Rivals.com story published on Monday stated he was down to South Carolina, Virginia and Michigan State.

Turner says his decision will come Tuesday
RB AJ Turner of Centreville, VA said in a text message Monday night he will be announcing his college choice on Tuesday with the time still to be determined.
And Turner once again stated all five finalists...USC, Clemson, Virginia, Michigan State and Ohio State are still in picture.

July 8th kornblut

Turner is a good one. Still think he could be scary good at Safety.

yes

[cockybreeyan]

Good stuff. I'd like to see this kid on the defensive side of the ball at the end of the day

[garnet_black215]

Announcing Thursday.

[Storm Of Spurs]

Blame ESPN.

From Kornblut moments ago:

RB A.J. Turner of Centreville, VA planned to announce his college decision Tuesday night from The Opening on ESPNU. But shortly before the 8:00 PM broadcast began, Turner was rescheduled by ESPN for a Thursday night announcement. He actually was originally scheduled for Thursday night, then was moved to the Tuesday night slot before being shifted back to Thursday night. Turner is down to USC, Clemson, Virginia, Ohio State and Michigan State.

Too add some more crazy shit to this, they are filming his announcement actually on Wednesday and then showing it on Thursday. F it, why not?!?! lol Turner is really being a team player with ESPN allowing them to move his announcement around like this.

[elcid99]

Turner is similar to Jamari, but the kid's frame is different. He could, realistically put on a good amount of weight. We went hard after him based on his current size vs size after working w Big Joe - I think, like Smith, he could end up on D & that wouldn't be a bad thing at all. Also, like Smith, he could play RB if needed. The type of player you need on the roster.

Which means he'll probably end up on defense, so when it's all said and done we end up taking one RB.

Hope they're buying him lunch.

Maybe, maybe not. May open the door to accept three RB commitments. Whatever happens happens.

I just don't see where we are going to get three RBs. Scarlett is committed to Miami and is apparently shutting it down, D. Williams will probably end up at UF, and Frasier and T. Williams are unknowns. Where T. Williams ends up is anyone's guess. That leaves Shaw and Turner.

[usc1]

If we don't get Frasier then hopefully we just keep it to 2 RBs. No need to fill roster spaces with guys who aren't instant impact MD type players.

Smith started on offense but coaches told him he would probably see the filed earlier on defense so he switched. I think AJ will start out on offense and then go from there. But nobody knows where he will eventually end up. He is being recruited as a RB and that's where he will begin....and I'll be glad when we get his commit.

and if we get both Turner and Shaw we're getting 2 good football players.....we are fortunate both can play on either side of the ball.....don't take that as a negative.
