The whole West Point staff was soon on board with Turell and Wilkins extended him an offer. On the other hand, other schools could not look past that he played in a small high school basketball league and that he was not being heavily recruited. Vincent McGhee, a former assistant coach at the University of North Colorado, fell in love with Turell’s s ability to shoot the three. He immediately told the rest of the staff to offer him, but they resisted. McGhee, who played at Sacramento State and Cal State Northridge, resonated with Turell considering he also was not heavily recruited out of high school.
