Saunders said all his options are pretty much even at this point and that his decision will be coming some time soon after this week.

“I really liked it,” the talented wing said of his most recent visit. “I got to see all Harvard had to offer, and I was really impressed by it.”

Saunders brought up a number of similarities and differences when asked to compare the two Ivies on his list.

“I felt like there was a better connection with the players; I thought the talent level was a little higher at Harvard,” Saunders said. “I thought that Penn had more of a social environment than Harvard did, just a more social school. Obviously the academics are really good at both schools.”

The final player welcomed by Amaker and his staff was Mike Turner. A 6’8”, 205-lb. combo forward at Chicago University High, Turner is currently evaluating his options, according to Troy Caldwell, his high school coach.

“Our goal and plan is to have him sign in the early signing period in November,” Caldwell said.

Turner’s top six is currently Penn, Harvard, Princeton, Northwestern, Valparaiso, and UIC. The major players are currently Penn and Harvard, Caldwell confirmed.

“He had a great visit down at Harvard,” Caldwell said.

Ranked in the top 30 in the state by several writers, Turner is “a highly mobile and active post who has the ability to take command on the floor, both with his scoring inside and his ability to rebound,” according to ChicagoHoops.com.
