Related Topics: Turkish people

You’re looking at 7-foot Turkish big man Omer Yurtseven, and according to Scout.com’s Evan Daniels, Kentucky has recently contacted him about joining the 2016 class. Although DraftExpress has Yurtseven as a top ten pick in the 2017 Draft, Yurtseven plans to pursue a college career, telling Daniels he’s been contacted by Arizona, Arizona State, Baylor, California, Duke, Miami, Utah, and, most recently, Kentucky and Oregon.

The 17-year-old seven-footer currently plays for Turkish pro team Fenerbahçe, which you may remember as Enes Kanter’s former squad. Does this mean we need to start the #FreeOmer campaign?
